For insurance patients:
Acupuncture is not an essential benefit therefore even our clinic listed as an in-network provider, your specific insurance policy will determine if you have the coverage or not. If your plan covers acupuncture, you only need to provide the co-payment or co-insurance specified by your plan for acupuncture once you meet the insurance requirements such as meeting the deductibles.
Some insurance plans not listed will cover acupuncture for specific problems. If your health insurance plan covers acupuncture treatments and we are an out-of-network provider, you will need to pay our clinic first then be reimbursed after we receive the payment from your insurance company.
Many health insurance plans only cover the needling part as an acupuncture treatment. However, the insurance coverage varies from one plan to another. We will verify your coverage chosen us as either an in-network or an out-of-network provider before you start treatments.
Please call our office to provide insurance information or allow 48 hours for us to verify your insurance coverage after making an appointment request online. We will check on your plan and coverage for you.

We strongly recommended that you also contact your insurance provider before the treatment to clarify your specific plan’s coverage and reimbursement policies. Important questions to ask your insurance provider include:
Is acupuncture covered under your specific policy?
What is the rate/percentage of reimbursement for acupuncture treatment?
How many visits will they pay? Is this the number of visits per calendar year or per illness?
Is there a deductible that needs to be met first? Does your deductible apply to acupuncture treatment? If so, have you met your deductible?
Does your policy cover acupuncture treatment for your illness? If coverage is restricted, what diagnoses are covered?
A patient consent for financial responsibility will be required to sign as part of the onboarding process before any services can be proceeded.
