Frequently Asked Questions
Many California health insurance plans cover acupuncture. However, insurance plans may differ, even within the same carrier. Many have deductibles that must be met before coverage begins.

No. Medicare, under certain circumstances, will only cover acupuncture for low back pain. Due to current legal and procedural guidelines, acupuncturists cannot bill Medicare directly. You can seek reimbursement from Medicare directly with (1) proof of payment or a superbill, and (2) form HCFA1490S. This requires upfront payment and processing effort on your part: fill out the forms, mail them to Medicare, and wait. There is no guarantee of payment. If you wish to attempt this, then we can provide a superbill!
No. We are currently not accepting Worker's Compensation patients.
