Many insurance companies will reimburse treatments for
pain-related conditions. TCM Health Centers are
generally able to accept insurance from patients in the
categories listed below. If you have Health Partners
insurance, an open claim with your car insurance, or
worker's compensation, it is worthwhile to see if your
acupuncture treatments can be covered.
Health Partners
Most members can self-refer for twelve acupuncture visits in a year, although
coverage is generally confined to musculo-skeletal problems such as back or
joint pain, headaches, menstrual or menopausal problems, and nausea. Please call
HP Member Services beforehand to verify your acupuncture benefits.
Car Insurance
If
your claim is open and you are still seeking and receiving medical treatment
related to your accident, there is a good chance that your car insurance company
will cover your acupuncture treatments. Please give your claim information to
your acupuncture provider to have your claim verified.
Worker's Compensation
Any
request for acupuncture treatments through worker's compensation benefits must
be specifically authorized by your case worker or worker's compensation
administration company. Please provide this information at the time the first
appointment is made.
