Insurance Coverage

Does Insurance Cover Acupuncture?

Over the years, we've happily verified your insurance coverage to see whether it pays for any of our services. Historically about a third of insurance companies paid, plus worker's compensation and PIP (if you've been in an automobile accident).

We know how important it is to use the insurance you've already paid for, and my office has strived to work efficiently to make the business side of our relationship smooth and effortless. The recent studies--combined with public support--show a clear trend for more insurance companies to cover our acupuncture services.

Many companies ask more work for less reimbursement and have suggested we see between 4-6 people per hour to balance the finances. They said if we did not join them others would, and our patients would leave us. Many of us have voiced concerns at this type of practice. Many of your other healthcare providers are under the same kind of system.

We've often heard from you that the time we take to fully listen to your concerns, discuss the complexities of your systems, and work with you to begin a goal-oriented comprehensive plan is a strong reason you've chosen this style of medicine. We will continue to keep you informed about this topic. Our office will continue to verify your coverage and accept reimbursement from your companies. We have also joined many of the discount programs and preferred provider plans to get you coverage, so continue to let us know which plans you have. We have also resigned from plans when we believe they compromise our standard of care for you. We are committed to assisting you in your family's education and health.
