Payment:
Payment must be made at the time of service. Cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard and Discover are accepted.
Insurance:
Insurance companies offer varying levels of coverage. Medicaid & Medicare do not provide coverage. As more and more insurance companies begin to understand the therapeutic benefit & long term cost savings of acupuncture & Chinese herbal medicine, insurance coverage will be expanded. You should check with your health insurance company first in order to see if you have eligibility and coverage for acupuncture.
All patients will be provided with an insurance-compatible Superbill. A Superbill is an invoice for your visit that uses standardized codes for all of the treatments performed. This process requires the patient to pay the full cost of the treatment out-of-pocket at the time of the visit. The Superbill can thereafter be submitted to your insurance carrier for full or partial reimbursement depending on your policy.
Acupuncture treatment is covered by many insurance companies, while herbal medicine is not commonly covered. Flex plans usually cover both.
If you are concerned about whether your insurance coverage includes acupuncture, please contact them directly.
Acupuncture is considered a tax-deductible medical expense by the IRS.
