IS ACUPUNCTURE COVERED BY HEALTH INSURANCE?

Some insurance companies currently cover acupuncture costs, other companies do not yet recognize the value of acupuncture. Many professional acupuncture organizations are working to inform insurance companies and the public in order to standardize payment practices and accessibility to this type of treatment.

Patients can help by insisting that their insurance company offer reimbursement for acupuncture treatments before they accept the policy.
