Dr. Christopher Yam, D.TCM
Designation/Degree and Direct Billing We are not sure where the confusion comes from (perhaps because his father, Dr. Peter Yam was a Naturopathic Doctor) but we seem to be having to post this every month or two. Please, when you are referring family or friends, let them know… Dr. Chris Yam is a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, D. TCM, which is different from a Naturopathic Doctor, ND. We are not allowed to bill under ‘Naturopathic services’ for ANY appointments with Dr. Chris Yam, D.TCM; we can ONLY bill under ‘Acupuncture.’ Unfortunately, Extended health companies do not have a category for Dr. of Traditional Chinese Medicine (though we feel they should as D. TCM is so much more than just Acupuncture), so we are limited to the Acupuncture aspect of his degree for billing directly to extended health companies. * Please check with your plan as to what coverage amount you have for Acupuncture. ** Please also note that there are some plans that do not cover Acupuncture or will not let us direct bill (i.e. Greenshields only allows us to bill on your behalf – you pay us and they re-imburse you). 
Bring your Own Shopping Bags
Effective July 15, 2024, as per the BC Government, we now must charge a fee for new re-usable and paper bags. We highly recommend that you bring your own bags to your appointment, or supplement pick-up, to avoid any additional charges. 
** PARKING **
They have added bike lane markings on the roads around our clinic. Though there are no signs posted, you are no longer allowed to park on the street immediately alongside our clinic; it is illegal. We do have our own parking lot, so you can park there :) If you want to park on the street, you still can, but it would be either a little further past our parking entrance on Blair Ave. or along Larchwood Dr., if you can find a spot. Thank you for your understanding; trying to save anyone from getting a ticket...or towed. |
