Insurance plans are complicated, and we know the exact questions to ask the insurance representatives. So we recommend you give us your insurance information and let us contact your insurance.
In-Network or Out-of-Network Provider:
Most health insurance companies do not pay In-Network acupuncturists fairly, so most experienced acupuncturists are Out-of-Network providers with most health insurance companies because they do Not contract with them. If you want to have good acupuncture service with good result and you want to see an experienced acupuncturist, you will probably end up see an out-of-network provider. Seeing an out-of-network acupuncturist not necessarily mean you will for sure pay more than you would see an In-Network acupuncturist. In many cases, you may pay the same or even less. It depends on the acupuncture benefit of your health plan.
At our clinics, we have acupuncturists are in-network or out-of-network of many health insurance companies. You can choose whom ever you want.
