Is acupuncture covered by insurance?
I am a provider for:
- BlueCross BlueShield
- Aetna
- United Healthcare
- Cigna
- American Specialty Health
Each plan is different, so I encourage you to call your insurance company and ask the following questions...
- Do I have acupuncture benefits?
- What symptoms/conditions are covered (ex: lower back pain)?
(Some companies only cover certain diagnosis codes) - Do I need a referral?
- How many treatments are covered per year?
- Is this per calendar year or effective date?
- Do I have a deductible I must meet first? If so, what is it?
- Do I have a specialist co-pay?
