FOR PATIENTS

How to Schedule/What to know

A new patient consultation consists of a complete health history and a thorough review of your present condition. Your appointment will be 1 1/2-2 hours. You will receive an acupuncture treatment, and together we determine the treatment strategy that best suits your individual needs. **

If you chose to have an herbal formula, I will formulate it while you are resting with needles.

Be sure to have a little food prior to your visit. Treatments will typically necessitate access to parts of the body above the knees and elbows. It may be easier for patients to try and wear loose and comfortable clothing prior to their visit or to bring a pair of shorts to change into.

Your first visit

• Bring any relevant test results.

• Bring a list of any medications, herbs, or supplements you are currently taking. 

Payment

Payment is due in full at the time services are rendered. We accepts cash, checks, all credit cards, HSA (Health Savings Account) cards, and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) cards.

Insurance

Our office does not bill insurance directly. You may call your insurance company to inquire if acupuncture services are covered under your policy. Upon request, a Superbill' will be provided (a receipt that you may submit directly to your insurance company to seek reimbursement.)

Confidentiality

Your patient records and patient information will be kept confidential and shared only when necessary to provide care and services, or by your authorization, or when required or permitted by law. Our office is HIPAA compliant.

Missed Appointment Policy

If you need to change or cancel your appointment please do so with 24 hours’ notice. Failure to do so will result in being charged the full fee for your appointment.
