Do you accept my insurance for acupuncture sessions?

How do I find out if my plan covers your acupuncture services?
Call member services for your plan. The number is located at the back of your insurance card. Ask if you have acupuncture coverage. You also need to ask for what conditions it covers as some plans only cover specific conditions such as back pain. You can also contact us with your a photo of your card front and back and date of birth and we will check benefits.

Can I use my employers Flex-spending/HSA benefit?
Your pre-tax health Flex Spending Account (FSA) can be used to pay for acupuncture or nutrition sessions. If your employer issued an FSA Debit card, we will take that card for your convenience. If you do not have a flex spending card we will provide you with a Superbill you can submit to your plan administrator.
Do I pay a copay at the time of visit?
If your plan includes required copays, you pay the copay flat fee at the time of service.
If I have a deductible how does that work?
Your deductible is the amount you need to pay out of pocket before your insurance begins to contribute. If your deductible hasn’t been met, you are responsible for the insurance-allowed cost of your visit—even when we are in-network.
Once your deductible is met, your insurance may start covering a portion of your care, and you may then owe only a copay or coinsurance. We’re happy to help review your benefits, but your insurance company makes the final payment decision, and any balance not covered by insurance is the patient’s responsibility.
Do you take Workers Comp or Vehicle accident insurances?
We will bill the auto insurance company or the Worker’s Compensation insurance plan and send them appropriate documentation.
