How fees work

I am out of network with insurance plans, and I don't bill them. Some plans pay part of an out-of-network visit, and many don't cover acupuncture at all.

You pay at each visit by card. The fee depends on how long the visit is and what we do, and I give it to you in writing before you book. For an HSA or FSA card, ask your plan administrator whether it works for acupuncture.

After each visit I can give you an itemized receipt, called a superbill, to send to your plan. Your plan may pay you back for part of it, and the plan decides.

If you pay without insurance, you have the right to receive a written good faith estimate of what your care will cost before you start. I give you one before your first visit. If the final bill is $400 or more above the estimate, you can dispute it. The estimate is not a contract.

I don't call your plan for you. Before your first visit, ask it the four questions above and tell me what it says. I will go over your receipt with you.

About 75 minutes: a talk about your care team and everything you take, a look at your tongue and pulse, a treatment, and a short plan. I explain the risks and answer your questions before any needle goes in. The fee for the first visit is on your estimate.
