Is acupuncture to the point now where it is covered by insurance? Is it commonly accepted medicinal practice?

That varies by insurance companies , I can tell you that United Health Care covers some and Blue Cross Blue Shield .. but has Far has I know Medicare which is sort of what a lot of insurance companies follow does not .. It is up in the air ..

Yeah.. Kojak I agree the rules are different, but please don't tell Lex as I am actively considering stalking him. I really don't have any rules about stalking. I probably should, now that it looks like you and Eileen are going to start some sort of club.... Well, it beats being married, that's for sure.... |

Do you think my DO would know, based on my carrier? Or would they find out for me?

In Australia, many alternative therapies are covered by health insurance, including acupuncture.

In Australia, many alternative therapies are covered by health insurance, including acupuncture. Here too , I am debating on if I want massage covered , Insurance would then set rates and standards and I hate to see it lose the art form that massage truly is .. yes it would be great for more people but maybe not so great for the therapist.. I personally do have some insurance clients and I take what the insurance company pays and then they pay a copay .. I have 2 drs here in town that write the refferals to me .. but then it does add to my cost the filing and waiting for a check .. unfortunately like in any small business this is passed on to the client .. |

Well, me being me, for now I'll see what my DO says and roll with it. If it does not fix the problem, then I'll have to go with plan "B". I'm definately going to ask about massotherapy, though.
