before your first visit
What a visit can include
Mostly acupuncture, sometimes a little more
Your acupuncturist tells you what they plan before they begin, and you can say no to any of it.
Thin, single-use needles at points chosen after you talk. A first visit runs about 75 minutes, later visits shorter.
Warm cups set on the back or shoulders for a few minutes. Light round marks are common and fade.
Warmth from burning mugwort leaf, held near the skin and never on it.
Tiny seeds taped to the ear that you press between visits. Easy to take off.
How fees work
Plain answers before you book, in the order people ask them.
Insurance we work with
We are in network with many PPO plans that include an acupuncture benefit, and with some EPO and point-of-service plans. Plans differ, and they change each year, so we check yours before you come in.
Many PPO plans with an acupuncture benefit
Some EPO and point-of-service plans
Medicaid benefits for acupuncture vary by state, so ask us before you book
If you pay yourself
If you are not using insurance, you pay at the visit by card. Many health savings and flexible spending cards work for acupuncture; ask your plan administrator before you book.
Receipts for reimbursement
If we are out of network with your plan, your plan may pay you back for some of what you pay, and we give you an itemized receipt, called a superbill, after each visit to send it. The plan decides.
Is there an acupuncture benefit?
How many visits does it cover?
Is there a copay or a deductible?
Do I need a referral?
An estimate in advance
We give a written estimate in advance to anyone paying without insurance. Ask for it when you book, and we send it before your first visit.
Checking your benefits
Before your first visit, our front desk calls your plan, asks the four questions above and tells you what it said. If something changes, we call you.
What the first visit includes
About 75 minutes: a talk about your health and your medicines, a look at your tongue and pulse, a treatment, and a plan for the next few visits. Your acupuncturist explains the risks and answers your questions before any needle goes in. The fee for the first visit is on your estimate or in your benefits check.

Questions people ask first
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people feel a brief pressure, a dull ache or a warm spread at some needles, and some feel almost nothing. The needles are hair-thin. Tell your acupuncturist right away if anything is uncomfortable, and they will adjust it or take the needle out.
Are the needles clean?
We use thin, sterile, single-use needles. We open each one in front of you and put it in a sharps container after the visit.
Does my insurance cover acupuncture?
Some plans do and some do not. Before your first visit we call your plan and tell you what it says: whether there is an acupuncture benefit, how many visits it allows and whether there is a copay or a deductible. If you pay without insurance, we give you a written estimate first.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Many health savings and flexible spending cards work for acupuncture. Your plan administrator has the final say, and we give you an itemized receipt after every visit.
How many visits will I need?
Your acupuncturist suggests a plan after the first visit and looks at it again as you go. It depends on your goals and how you respond, and you can stop whenever you like.
What should I wear and eat?
Wear loose clothes that roll up past the knee and the elbow. Eat something light a couple of hours before. It is better not to come hungry or very full.
What if I am pregnant?
Tell us when you book if you are pregnant or might be. Some points are avoided, and your acupuncturist explains the risks and what they would do differently. Check with your obstetric provider as well.
Do I have to stop my medicine?
No. Keep taking everything your prescriber has given you. Bring us a list of everything you take, medicines and supplements included. Acupuncture does not replace your doctor's care.
