Medical Insurance

Contact your medical insurance company to see if acupuncture is a covered service under your plan and if you are able to see providers out-of-network. Ask for specific details of coverage since these vary for each policy. As of this time, I am not a contracted provider for any insurance company. I am able to assist patients with insurance billing if your plan covers acupuncture and will accept an out-of-network provider (usually this occurs with a P.P.O plan). Patients are responsible for the portion of the fee not covered by the insurance company. Payment for acupuncture appointments may also be used toward flexible spending accounts- talk to your employer about this program.

Office Policies

Patients are asked to make any schedule changes or cancellations prior to 24 hours of their scheduled time. Patients will be charged the full service fee for cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment.
