For your first treatment: You will pay the cash rate of $45 (unless you email, fax or drop off a copy of the front and back of your insurance card with your date of birth, full name and address written on the paper. You can also stop by with your card and I will make a photocopy of it here). That's because we need to get you pre-approved first so we know what your insurance covers or if it covers acupuncture. We typically call for approvals on Mondays and Tuesdays of each week. If you come in for your first appointment without having us check your benefits before hand, you will pay $45 but we will reimburse you after we find out what your insurance covers (minus the copay).
