Common Questions

Insurance FAQs

How do I know if my insurance covers acupuncture?

The best way to verify coverage is to call your insurance company's member services number (on the back of your card) or contact our office. We can help verify your benefits before your first appointment.

Do I need a referral for acupuncture?

This depends on your specific insurance plan. Some HMO plans require a referral from your primary care physician, while PPO plans typically do not. We recommend checking with your insurance or asking us to verify.

What if my insurance doesn't cover acupuncture?

We offer competitive self-pay rates and package discounts. Additionally, acupuncture is typically an eligible expense for HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds.

How many acupuncture sessions does insurance typically cover?

Coverage varies by plan, but many insurance plans cover between 12-30 acupuncture sessions per year. Some plans have unlimited coverage for certain conditions. We recommend checking your specific plan details.

Will I have a copay for acupuncture treatments?

Most insurance plans have a copay or coinsurance for acupuncture services. The amount depends on your specific plan. Our staff can help you understand your financial responsibility before treatment.
