Naturopathic doctors are licensed primary healthcare practitioners in New Hampshire. I have health insurance. Naturopathic medicine should be covered. Only 5.5% of NH residents have insurance plans guaranteed to cover naturopathic medicine. This creates an avoidable barrier to accessing naturopathic medicine. We want access to naturopathic medicine, without unnecessary financial burdens on families. We want equity among private insurance members. This bill also help reduce the healthcare provider shortage in our state. Licensed providers, inckuding NDs, should receive equitable treatment by insurance companies.Naturopathic Medicine is Cost-Effective, beneficial, and licensed in NH. Please VOTE YES on SB 550 to require insurance companies to cover Naturopathic Doctors under ALL private insurance plans in New Hampshire. Thank you!
