FAQs

DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?
We are currently in-network with BCBS with the exception of their Medicare plans. Acupuncture coverage varies by plan and we are happy to check the details of your benefits for you. For out of network patients, we always can provide a superbill to be submitted to your insurance company. Acupuncture also is an approved expense for flexible spending (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA).
‍
WHAT CAN WE TREAT?
Acupuncture is recognized by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to be effective in the treatment of a wide variety of medical problems. We are a general family practice and work frequently with patients struggling with headaches, physical pain, chronic and autoimmune conditions, gastrointestinal imbalances, fertility and hormonal health, stress, anxiety, insomnia, and fatigue. To learn more about whether acupuncture can help you, contact us to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AT MY FIRST APPOINTMENT?
The first appointment lasts about 90 minutes. It includes a comprehensive intake interview and treatment. We’ll discuss your issue, symptoms, goals, history and lifestyle. From there, we’ll develop a customized holistic treatment plan to support your healing and wellbeing. Follow-up appointments last about 60 minutes.
‍
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
‍Once you meet for your initial appointment, we will create a personalized treatment plan. Someone with an acute physical pain may get relief in 3-4 treatments while someone with a more chronic issue will require longer. Like physical or talk therapy, healing takes time and commitment and varies from person to person.

WHAT IS YOUR COVID POLICY?
We take COVID seriously and patient wellbeing is our top priority. If you test positive for COVID-19, you must wait at least five days before coming to the office AND be fever free for more than 24 hours without taking fever-reducing medication. If you are exposed to someone who tests positive, you may still come into the office if you are symptom-free and have a negative rapid test result. If you have any questions about whether you should come into the office, please contact us at 240.461.1745 or email us to set up a virtual visit.
