Some plans now pay for acupuncture and massage. Please contact your insurer for complete details on your specific benefits and coverage limits.
You may have read that acupuncture for low back pain is now
covered by Medicare; that is technically true. However, acupuncturists are not
recognized as Medicare providers and therefore we cannot bill Medicare for our
services. Hopefully, the legal kinks will be ironed out soon. Several Medicare advantage plans do cover acupuncture treatment.
You can also use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flex Spending Account for acupuncture.
We
can give you a superbill to submit to your insurance provider for out
of network policies or to apply toward any deductible.
