“WILL MY INSURANCE COVER ACUPUNCTURE?”

           INSURANCE ACCEPTED:

1. •Sutter Select EPO (Sutter Health Employees) 
   

Employees of the Sutter Health Care System are eligible for  20 acupuncture visits yearly, the co-pay is $20, and there is no deductible.

1. •Auto Insurance with ‘Med-Pay’
   

In California, if you are injured in an auto accident, your auto insurance will cover acupuncture treatment in full if you have ‘Med-Pay’ coverage.

1. •Workers Compensation
   

If you have an open claim under Workers Compensation, acupuncture treatment needs  to be prescribed by your treating medical doctor, and approved in writing by your claims adjuster.

1. •Blue Cross / Blue Shield PPO
   

For Blue Cross and Blue Shield PPO, I provide a Superbill for the patient to submit to the insurance company. If the policy provides coverage for acupuncture, the reimbursement is generally $25 to $30 per treatment.  Restrictions apply.

“WHAT IS THE FEE IF I DON’T HAVE INSURANCE COVERAGE?”

         FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT INSURANCE COVERAGE:

1. •    Initial Exam / Treatment:     $160.00
   

2. •    Subsequent treatments:        $80.00
