Understanding Insurance Coverage
You are responsible for knowing your acupuncture coverage under your own plan. We will verify your benefits but do not rely solely on us to ensure you are covered.
Please be aware that some insurance plans will determine your coverage based not only on the treatment and services provided, but based on the condition you are being seen for. Many insurance companies, for instance, will only cover acupuncture for pain-related diagnoses. For this reason, patients who see us for mental health or fertility services may be self-pay if they are not also being treated for present bodily pain.
How to Check Your Insurance Benefits
You can use this page and the questions below to verify your own insurance coverage. We recommend keeping a copy for your own records. You are welcome ot provide a copy of these answers to our front desk as well.
Remember to call your insurance company at least 24 hours in advance of your appointment. If you are checking your benefits for more than one service, you may want to print multiple copies of this page.
Call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card. Ask for benefits/eligibility. Tell the phone representative that you’re calling to check on your personal insurance benefits.
