Does insurance cover acupuncture?
Many insurance plans today cover acupuncture. In order to find out if you are covered, you should call your insurance provider and ask if acupuncture performed by an acupuncturist licensed in the State of California is a covered benefit. You should also determine if you have a benefit for out-of-network providers (we are not contracted with most plans). The other question to ask is whether acupuncture is covered for pain only or based on medical necessity. For example, your plan may cover acupuncture if you have musculoskeletal pain but not if you have a digestive problem.
