We are not associated with any health insurance company. However, if your insurance plan allows for out-of-network acupuncture benefits, services may be partly covered. We are happy to provide a superbill for partial reimbursement on request. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:
Do I have out-of-network acupuncture benefits?
What is my out-of-network deductible and has it been met?
How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
What is the coverage amount per acupuncture session?

While it is difficult to gauge the exact number of treatments a patient will need to resolve their issue/s, we do know that the more chronic and severe the condition is, the longer it usually takes to heal.  Short-term acute conditions, such as colds and flus, can often be resolved within one treatment and a few days of taking herbs and supplements.  Long-standing problems, such as chronic digestive issues or skin conditions, may take several weeks to a few months to fully heal.  In our initial visit, I will assess your recommended number of treatments, and a timeline for optimal results.

Your initial visit is a great opportunity for us to get to know each other. We will carefully go over an extensive health history, an evaluation of your current condition, and the development of a treatment plan for moving forward. We will also utilize traditional tongue and pulse taking to facilitate a TCM diagnosis, and go over any recent lab work or test results. Lastly, your first treatment will include an acupuncture session, and a detailed discussion about nutrition, recommended herbs and supplements, and lifestyle modifications if relevant. Please plan for approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
