We want you to understand your benefits and expected costs before starting treatment.
Insurance Plans We Accept
Alignment Acupuncture and Wellness accepts eligible acupuncture plans through the following insurers:
- Aetna
- Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (Anthem BCBS)
- Cigna
- UnitedHealthcare (UHC)
Important: Being able to accept a carrier does not mean every plan offered by that company covers acupuncture or that every plan considers our practitioner in network. Eligibility also depends on your particular policy, network or benefits administrator, diagnosis, and any other plan rules. Please contact us before your first visit so we can review the next steps for checking benefits. Benefit quotes are not a guarantee of insurance payment.
ASK US TO CHECK YOUR ACUPUNCTURE BENEFITS
What Does My Plan Cover?
Depending on your coverage, acupuncture benefits may vary by diagnosis, annual visit allowance, deductible, copay, coinsurance, referral, and prior authorization. Some plans use separate administrators or provider networks for acupuncture.
When you contact us, please have your insurance ID card and the subscriber's information available through our approved secure process. Do not send full insurance card numbers through an unsecured web form.
Common Insurance Questions
Is Alignment in network for my exact plan? We will help you determine the appropriate verification steps; a carrier name alone cannot answer this.
What will I owe at the visit? Your out-of-pocket amount may include a copay, deductible, or coinsurance and depends on the insurer's final processing.
Can I use insurance for massage, herbs, cosmetic acupuncture, or future Botox services? These treatments and products are generally self-pay unless a specific benefit is verified. Botox and injectables are in development and cannot be booked yet. Acupuncture coverage does not automatically extend to other wellness or cosmetic services.
Do I need a referral or authorization? Some plans require one. We will tell you what needs to be checked before care begins.
Superbills for Reimbursement
We can provide an itemized superbill upon request for eligible services. You can submit it to your insurance company for consideration of possible out-of-network reimbursement. Whether your plan reimburses any amount depends on its benefits and processing rules; reimbursement is not guaranteed.
Self-Pay Options
Ask our team about current self-pay rates and billing policies.
Veterans & VA Community Care
VA Community Care is separate from commercial insurance. Authorized VA acupuncture requires an appropriate referral and authorization for Alignment and depends on the clinic's credentialing and participation. We will confirm eligibility before scheduling any visit as VA-funded care.
