Verification of Benefits

We offer free health insurance benefit checks! Prior to your initial visit, we will verify your insurance benefits for you, although it is ultimately your responsibility to know what your coverage for acupuncture is.

What to ask your insurer:

  • Is acupuncture a covered benefit under my plan?
  • What are the specific conditions covered? (e.g. chronic pain)
  • Is there a limit on the number of sessions per year?
  • Do I have a deductible or a co-pay?
