Insurance and coverage
Many PPO plans and specialty networks may include acupuncture benefits. Send your plan details before booking, and the clinic can help clarify your benefits, expected patient responsibility, and the clearest next step.
Accepted coverage types
Coverage varies by carrier, employer, network, and individual plan. The fastest path is to submit the details from your card so the clinic can verify your specific benefits.
How reimbursement works
Your plan may cover acupuncture in different ways depending on the provider network, diagnosis, visit limit, deductible, and authorization rules.
In network
When the clinic and the treating acupuncturist are in the correct network for your plan, your copay or coinsurance is usually lower and claims are generally easier to process. Some benefits are managed through a specialty network such as ASH or Landmark.
Out of network
Some PPO plans reimburse part of an out-of-network visit after the deductible, but your share may be higher. Other plans exclude out-of-network acupuncture, apply visit limits, or require you to submit a claim yourself.
Before booking, ask your member services team whether your plan covers acupuncture with a California-licensed acupuncturist, whether a specific network is required, and whether a referral or prior authorization is needed. Benefit verification is not a guarantee of payment.
Helpful to know
Before booking
We can review the information on your card and let you know what your plan appears to cover before you commit to a visit.
At check-in
Have your insurance card, photo ID, and any referral or authorization information ready if your plan requires it.
HSA and FSA
HSA and FSA cards can usually be used for eligible acupuncture-related expenses. Keep receipts for your own records.
Plan limits
Verification is helpful, but benefits can still depend on claim processing, medical necessity rules, deductibles, and plan updates.
