FAQ & Insurance

What is an acupuncture set?

A "set" denotes the groups of needles used and associated time applied during a treatment session. The most common type of treatment consists of two sets (e.g., a front and back treatment). Offering a "single set" treatment provides the option of a shorter treatment for those clients looking for an abbreviated yet effective session.

What should I know about acupuncture and insurance?

In order to provide the most effective care, I frequently use a combination of acupuncture, manual or massage therapy, and heat therapy in a single session. I bill for each of these treatments accordingly. While all of these modalities are within the scope of an acupuncturist's practice, some insurance companies combine the latter modalities (manual therapy, massage therapy, or heat therapy) with physical or massage therapy benefits and thus those benefits might be affected. For example, if you receive 12 "acupuncture" visits and 60 "rehabilitation" visits per year, in one acupuncture visit, if massage and acupuncture are combined, your insurance plan may deduct from both your acupuncture as well as rehabilitation benefits, resulting in 11 and 59 remaining, respectively. It is very important for you to fully understand your specific insurance plan so you know what to expect after a session. Please use me as a resource if you have any questions before or after you speak with your insurance representative so you can make an informed decision about how to best utilize your benefits.
