In most cases, Naturopathic Medicine is eligible for payment through Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) as licensed NMDs are recognized as physicians in Arizona. Office visits and many treatments can often be reimbursed through these accounts.

Most naturopathic physicians will also provide letters of medical necessity when needed, which can help patients receive coverage for specific services or therapies under HSA/FSA guidelines.

It’s important to check with your HSA or FSA provider for specific coverage, as policies may vary. Patients frequently find that using HSA or FSA funds makes naturopathic care more accessible while allowing them to choose a physician who focuses on prevention, restoring balance, and long-term healing.

Licensed naturopathic physicians are part of a regulated medical profession that relies on education, standards, and collective engagement to protect patient care. Clinical excellence is essential — but so is staying informed, connected, and involved in the systems that shape healthcare.

A strong profession is built by physicians who participate, not just practice.

The Arizona Naturopathic Medical Association recognizes the responsibility that comes with leadership in medicine—to uphold integrity, promote truth in science, and serve our patients with excellence.

AzNMA Day at the Capitol was a powerful success.

We had 20 incredible Naturopathic Physicians that showed up to advocate for the profession and the patients we serve, meeting directly with legislators and reinforcing the essential role Naturopath Physicians play in Arizona’s healthcare system.

From a formal Senate welcome to one-on-one conversations about SB 1178 and IV therapy authority, our physicians put a human face to the profession and demonstrated the depth of training, oversight, and patient impact across the state.

Advocacy matters. Engagement matters. Showing up matters.
Thank you to every physician who took the time to represent naturopathic medicine at the Capitol.

Licensed naturopathic physicians in Arizona are trained, regulated, and accountable medical professionals. ND/NMDs complete accredited doctoral programs, pass national board exams, and practice under defined state scope and standards.

Licensure protects patients by ensuring care is delivered by qualified, properly trained physicians — not unregulated or self-designated providers.

Support licensed naturopathic physicians. Stay informed about how regulation protects your access to safe, effective care.

02/02/2026

In Arizona, Naturopathic Doctors (NMDs) are fully licensed physicians. They hold the legal authority to diagnose and treat disease, prescribe medications when appropriate, order and interpret laboratory tests and imaging, and serve as primary care providers.

NMDs complete rigorous medical education at CNME-accredited naturopathic medical schools, followed by national board examinations (NPLEX) before being granted licensure. In Arizona, licensed NMDs also have the option to obtain a DEA license, which expands their prescribing authority to include certain controlled substances such as testosterone for patient care when clinically appropriate.

Choosing a licensed NMD means working with a physician who is both legally recognized and medically trained to provide comprehensive, patient-centered healthcare.
