Frequently Asked Questions
Many California health insurance plans cover acupuncture. We work with patients under the insurance companies listed above, and more. Insurance plans may differ, even within the same carrier! Many have restrictions or deductibles that must be met before coverage begins. Jiling is in-network with insurance companies that cover most Patagonia employees and federal employees. Please verify your insurance to confirm the details of your specific policy before your appointment.
Different insurance plans have different coverage policies for acupuncture and allied modalities that may be incorporated during your treatment. Insurance usually does not cover the cost of herbs.

The listed services & fees includes an out-of-pocket discount that we hope makes treatment reasonably priced while supporting optimal care. Other options: We accept Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flex Spending Account (FSA) plans. We can write you a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company. You may be able to submit your receipts as tax-deductible medical expenses.
Yes! Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flex Spending Accounts (FSA) are a convenient way to pay for both acupuncture and herbs. We are happy to accept either, and can write a superbill if necessary. Please contact your employer for details, if applicable.
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 are interested in attempting this, then we will happily provide a superbill!
We are currently not accepting Worker's Compensation patients.
Unfortunately, Kaiser, Anthem, and other American Specialty Health insurance policies usually either do not cover our services, and/ or have a high deductible that is unreachable by the end of the year.
