Medical Consultations
With Dr. Lee
Many of our website visitors decide to seek medical advice
from a licensed practitioner of natural medicine. Our informed
perspective is available to help with personal health issues you or
your loved ones might be facing.
You can arrange for an individual consultation with
NaturoDoc's Medical Director, Dr. Thomas Stearns Lee. Dr. Lee
is a licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD) with DEA
prescriptive privileges. His professional qualifications are
available
here.
We offer two remote consultation methods
to meet your needs: telephone and email.
Telephone Consultations
Dr. Lee conducts individual phone consultations by
appointment. His rate is $95.00 per half hour, and after the first 30
minutes the fee is pro-rated based on the actual time you are on the phone
together. We will mail you a standard medical
receipt after the service is rendered.
The process for setting up a telephone consultation is as
follows. First, you request an appointment either by using our
secure request form below or by calling us.
We reply via email or phone to schedule your appointment. Our
toll-free phone number in the U.S. and Canada is 1-877-867-4743, and internationally
we can be reached at +775-657-8769.
Once your appointment has been scheduled, you are
encouraged to email or fax us any relevant test results or reports
you wish the doctor to have in advance of the consultation.
Teleconferences and live recordings of the call are
available as an option. A fee of $0.08 per minute per party will be
added to your invoice. This works out to be only $4.80 per half hour
for a call involving two parties. Afterwards, the call recording may
be accessed by the client at any time from a secure web page. The call
recording remains available indefinitely (until you tell us you're finished
with it). To arrange a teleconference or live recording of your call,
just let us know in advance of the call. We can do international
calls, but an international party must call in at their own expense, and
then the per-minute recording fee applies.
Email Consultations
For brief questions, consider getting the doctor's
written advice via email. Email consultations are priced at
$120 and are also transacted using the secure form below. A
personal reply to your inquiry will be emailed to you within 3-4
business days after receipt of your request. This fee allows
for a 1/2 hour time input for the first session, with a 15 minute
update and commentary within the following 1-2 weeks. It includes
one followup email where you report the results you are getting
along with any further questions, and you then will receive a second email
from Dr. Lee.
Insurance Coverage
For consultation with our staff physician, payment is
required at time of service. You are encouraged to file for reimbursement
with your own medical insurance carrier if they cover the services of a
licensed physician. We provide a properly coded and identified medical
receipt to assist you in this. Some nutritional supplements that we sell
are reimbursed for some conditions and by some policies. Please confirm
your insurance coverage prior to the consultation. If your policy includes
a phrase defining the provider as a "licensed medical provider practicing
within the scope of their license," they are likely to accept receipts from
a naturopathic medical doctor (NMD or ND) for some percentage of their
charges.
