What is the Integrative Community Assistance Program?
Accessible Naturopathic Healthcare
The Integrative Community Assistance Program (ICAP) is a premium assistance program, providing low-cost naturopathic healthcare to the community in Vancouver and its outlying areas.
One-on-one support with our Resident Naturopathic Doctor
The ICAP program is offered by the Integrative Residency Program. If you qualify for ICAP, you will become a patient of our current First or Second-Year Resident Naturopathic Doctor.

Important information about ICAP
Do I qualify for ICAP?
If you are on premium assistance through the Medical Service Plan or British Columbia (MSP), you qualify for ICAP. You can inquire through MSP or contact us directly to determine if you are on premium assistance. Full name, birthdate, and MSP number are required.
What can I expect from a Naturopathic Visit?
Our treatment is holistic – we address physical, mental, emotional and social factors that may be contributing to illness and health. Integrative tends to have longer appointments than conventional doctors. We spend as much time as needed to determine the root causes.
How much does it cost?
Each appointment is $33 at the time of the visit. A $23 return rebate will be mailed in 4-8 weeks. Patients are eligible for 10 premium assistance visits total within a calendar year (at Integrative, and in conjunction with any other facilities that offer premium assistance rebates).
What should I bring to my first visit?
Once you have been accepted to join ICAP, we will direct you to our Patient Hub - this is where you can find everything you need to know about your first visit. Things to bring include:
- MSP Card
- Completed new patient forms
- Medical records, including lab results from past 3 years (if you have them)
- Current medications and supplements
Your Participating Practitioners
The Naturopathic Doctors at Integrative are primary care providers with expertise in a wide variety of functional medicine techniques, including Pharmacology, herbal medicine, nutritional science, and acupuncture. This knowledge allows them to apply a truly Integrative approach to each of their unique patients.
