Financial Planning For Your Care

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

In this system of medicine each treatment builds on the previous one. Achieving significant healing requires a commitment on your part. Optimal results are achieved when a patient follows the suggested treatment plan. With acupuncture, patients will usually begin to see positive changes within the first few treatments. Most conditions require 10-15 sessions, although some conditions may require 20-30 treatments depending upon the chronic nature of the complaint. We also encourage follow-up care to prevent the symptoms from recurring and to maintain wellness. Your practitioner will discuss the best treatment plan with you.

Insurance Information

If we are contracted with your plan we will submit claims for you. If we are not contracted with your plan we request payment at the time of service. Our receipt may be submitted for reimbursement from flex plans or health savings accounts in many cases. If you have insurance benefits, plan ahead and know that while your insurance will give us a head start on paying for your care, in most cases the limited benefits are exceeded and patients will usually incur some out of pocket expense. Herbs and supplements are not covered by insurance. Coverage for lab work varies by plan and is not guaranteed.
