Acupuncture & Insurance
A tricky history
Thank you for considering trying acupuncture and its related techniques for your healthcare needs. Unfortunately, the insurance companies are still trying to figure out how best to work with acupuncturists and as a single person business owner, it is not very friendly.
Due to the involved workload of discovering what services your insurance plan might cover and how many treatments might be covered, it is neither time nor cost efficient for me to manage that on my own. Insurance companies tend to be quite restrictive in their coverage, so even if your plan says that you have it, they may only cover a few diagnoses and most will limit the amount of treatment sessions they will cover.
Although I am delighted that acupuncture has made it to our mainstream medical community, there is still a ways to go for true coverage.
Insurance Alternatives
- I can provide you a Superbill. If you have insurance coverage for acupuncture, you can submit to attempt reimbursement directly back to you from your insurance company. Please ask for this paperwork if needed. I have had several patients successfully recoup money for treatments.
- These treatments do qualify under most healthcare plans for HSA and FSA funds. You will need to check with your insurance company to ask regarding your plan. Again, I have had many people find this option useful for managing costs, especially if they enjoy the use of acupuncture as part of their ongoing wellness routine.
- If neither of these options are available to you and the costs are truly restrictive in seeking the care that you need, please feel comfortable contacting me to discuss alternative opportunities for exchange. I am able to offer this on a case by case basis and hope to serve all who are invested in their health and would like to use the support of these therapies.
