Is it possible to have acupuncture covered by insurance?Yes! In light of the plethora of news about the reformation of health care, where does Chinese medicine stand? Many practitioners in the field of holistic and complementary medicine are trying to encourage lawmakers to include services such as acupuncture into the new health care plan. The national governing bodies for Oriental Medicine, the NCCAOM and the AAAOM are backing this measure. To support acupuncture coverage please visit: http://www.aaaomonline.org/

I agree, Leslie. Hopefully, our healthcare reform will include coverage of preventative modes of treatment, like acupuncture; i am hopeful that with a public option that is prevention friendly, other private insurance companies will have to come on board in order to compete in a new open market insurance environment.
It’s high time insurance companies come up to speed on holistic medicine and cover the services.
