Fees
Insurance
It is well worth checking with your insurance carrier to see if you will be reimbursed. Go the Verify Your Insurance button below and fill out your information. Two days later your insurance details will come to me (not to you). Note that I accept any insurance that provides out of network benefits.
If you haven't contacted me directly and you send in your insurance verification online, I won’t necessarily know that you did this. So please contact me after a couple of days. This will ensure that I get your information to you.
The cost for those using insurance can vary. Each case will be unique. You may have a co-pay or must meet your deductible first.
Medicare: In 2022, Medicare approved acupuncture for treatment for low back pain only. To be eligible, treatment must be performed by a physician. Thus, I cannot bill for Medicare. Further, most Medicare supplement policies do not cover acupuncture. That said, retired Federal, IMF, IFC and World Bank employees generally have coverage for acupuncture.
Payment methods
We accept cash, checks, Zelle, Venmo, PayPal and credit cards. Credit cards incur an extra fee of 4%.
Payment is due at the time of your appointment.
Costs (rates below)
While acupuncture can give you remarkable and often speedy results, its true power is in regularity of treatment.
If you are seeking lasting results, you may be coming for eight or more sessions. Each person's case is different. In all cases I aim to get you better as fast as possible. And when you are better you get your life back!
Cash Payment Rates
First visit, 75-90 minutes: $245
Subsequent treatment sessions, 45-50 minutes: $175 (complex condition or use of credit, debit, HSA or FSA cards) or $155 if a straight-forward condition and paying with cash.
Specialty treatments for vision health: To be discussed. Range is $195 (50 min.) to $240 (two 30 min. sessions) to $2500 (2 week intensive).
Discounts
If you have a host of complaints, or a complex condition requiring sustained attention, you may need to be in treatment for an extended period. For such cases, I offer pre-paid packages of 18 treatments at a discount. This is an option explored after your first visit or later. Pre-paid packages may not be combined with insurance. If paying with any type of card, a 4% surcharge will be applied.
