Does Insurance cover Acupuncture?
We are in network with several of the major health insurance companies. You may also use your HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spendings Account) for most of our services.
In order to utilize your benefits for any of our services including acupuncture, that specific service must be covered by your health insurance policy. While many of the major insurances DO cover acupuncture and chiropractic services, coverage is ultimately determined by your specific policy’s agreement. Our clinic staff helps you verify your insurance coverage for acupuncture.
In-network vs Out-of-network
If we are in-network, it means we are contracted with that insurance company and can bill them for rendered services.
Out-of-network means that we are NOT contracted with the insurance company, which usually does not cover our services unless their is a specific out-of-network benefit that does so.
Additionally, acupuncture and chiropractic are considered different licensures and will be credentialed separately, so insurance coverage between acupuncture and chiropractic may vary.
Other coverage factors
This is the amount you must pay out of pocket before insurance begins to partially cover .
** This varies across insurance plans and policies and does not guarantee coverage.
This is the accumulated number of out-of-pocket expenses you have spent toward qualified health care services. This “Out-of-pocket” has a threshold you must meet before insurance begins to cover 100% of your healthcare expenses.
** This varies across insurance plans and policies and does not guarantee coverage.
A “co-pay” or “co-insurance” is an amount set by your insurance policies terms that you must pay per qualified healthcare services.
This amount covers part of the services rendered, and your policies’ insurance plan pays for the rest.
According to current law and health care practice regulations, all patients are required to pay the co-pay/co-insurance as determined by their insurance policy.
** This varies across insurance plans and policies.
