Payment and Insurance

Insurance for Acupuncture

Some insurance companies cover acupuncture treatments for the treatment of chronic pain (pain that has lasted a few months). Please understand that we are a small business without an administrative team. Therefore, is up to you to understand your acupuncture benefits and how much you owe for each visit if you have a copay or deductible. Below are instructions on how to understand your acupuncture benefits.

Insurance companies will not typically not cover anything other than pain and nausea. The most common ailments that we bill for are:

  1. Low back pain

  2. Neck pain

  3. Limb and extremity pain

  4. Headaches or migraines

  5. Menstrual cramps

  6. Fibromyalgia

  7. Nausea due to chemotherapy or pregnancy

To determine if your insurance covers acupuncture call your provider and ask them the following questions:

  1. Is acupuncture a covered service?

  2. If yes, what are the copay and/or deductible amounts?

  3. If you have to meet your deductible, how much do you have left to pay? (you will have to pay your deductible directly at Loon Holistic Health on the date of service)

  4. What is the visit limit?

  5. Do I need a prior authorization or a referral from an MD?

  6. Do I have out-of-network-benefits? *

*Out of network benefits?

If you have out-of-network benefits, we’ll provide a Superbill (a bill with procedure and diagnosis codes) for insurance reimbursement. You pay at the time of service, submit the itemized bill, and, if approved, receive reimbursement directly.
