PRIOR to your appointment
Upon booking your first visit you will be set up with a Jane account, which is where you will be able to view/change your appointments and access your forms, treatment notes, and handouts. Remember to keep your login information in a safe place as you will need it in order to schedule appointments yourself online and to access the secure video platform should you decide to have your consult virtually.
If you are scheduled for an initial appointment or it has been longer than a year since your last visit you will receive an email prompting you to fill out an online Intake & Consent form. Please be sure to complete this at least 24 hours prior to your appointment so that Dr. Geil can review it before you are seen. Completing this ahead of time helps to ensure you get the most out of your visit and that the time is spent efficiently on collecting the additional information needed to make an assessment and discuss your treatment plan.
Due to the ongoing pandemic we are also required to have each patient fill out a COVID Screening Questionnaire 24 hours prior to attending any in office appointments. This will be emailed to you through your Jane account. At the current time, masks are no longer mandatory. All of the practitioners at the clinic are ensuring that all
of our new safety measures, practices, and
protocols are upheld.

YOUR FIRST VISIT
An Initial Consult is required for all new patients. It is ~60 minutes in length and includes an in depth discussion of your primary health concerns, health history, & treatment goals. While the main focus will be on your presenting health concerns, Dr. Geil will also ask you about other areas of your health, including your sleep, energy, mood, cycles, diet/lifestyle, and digestion. Any relevant physical exams will be performed and lab testing can be ordered if deemed necessary to aid in making an assessment. By the end of the visit the goal is to discuss all treatment options and implement a comprehensive treatment plan that is individualized to you.
follow up visits
A 45 Minute Follow Up visit is usually scheduled within 2-6 weeks of your initial appointment depending on your chief concerns and what your initial treatment plan entailed. If any testing was ordered or requested time will be spent in the second visit discussing your results, checking in on your progress, and modifying your treatment plan accordingly. The length and frequency of subsequent follow ups (15 / 30 / 45 / 60 minutes) is dependent upon how much time is needed to reassess and plan next steps to ensure you keep moving forward with your specific health goals.

Insurance & DIRECT BILLING
While naturopathic services are not covered under OHIP, many patients have coverage through their extended health benefits. Plans usually renew annually in January or September. The amount and type of services (such as visits, products, or lab testing) that are covered for each plan varies so be sure to contact your insurance provider if you have any questions pertaining to your coverage.
For your convenience Dr. Geil offers direct billing to several of the most common providers, including:
-
Manulife / OTIP
-
Sun Life
-
Desjardins
-
Great West Life
-
Green Shield
-
... and more
At the time of booking you will be sent an Extended Health Benefits Consent form. Please fill this out if you would like Dr. Geil to direct bill / submit your visit to your insurer on your behalf. Be sure to have a copy or photo of your insurance card in case the plan/policy numbers need to be re-entered.
Each patient will be provided with an itemized receipt should you have insurance but are with a plan that cannot be billed to directly, or you simply wish to pay and submit yourself. Payment options include debit, VISA, and Mastercard.
lab testing
Lab testing can be a useful tool to aid in making an assessment to better understand what might be going on and can be helpful to monitor your treatment progress over time. Dr. Geil has access to both routine bloodwork through LifeLabs in addition to more specialized testing with other labs, depending on your areas of concern.
If it is determined that testing would be of benefit you will be provided with a requisition form and any test specific instructions during the appointment.
While lab testing through NDs is not covered under OHIP, many insurance companies do provide coverage through your extended health benefit package. At this time Dr. Geil can only offer direct billing for the cost of the visit and not products or testing. You will be provided with an itemized receipt should you have lab coverage and wish to pay & later submit to your benefit plan to be reimbursed.
products & supplements
During your appointment Dr. Geil may recommend a specific product or supplement to take as part of your comprehensive treatment plan. At the end of each visit you will leave with a prescription outlining all of the treatment recommendations, including any dosing information and changes / modifications made from prior appointments.
Remember that when it comes to supplementation, quality matters! Not just for your safety but also to ensure that what you are taking will yield the results that we expect to see.
Dr. Geil has access to the professional lines of products that utilize the most superior & absorbable forms of nutrients. They are dosed therapeutically based upon the current available research and are guaranteed to be third party tested for quality assurance.
