Unlike many commercial plans, OHP may also cover acupuncture for addiction recovery or smoking cessation with referral from your primary care provider. Medicare & Medicare Advantage Medicare coverage is limited and varies by the type of plan. Please see the Medicare section on our Insurance (https://www.echoacupuncture.com/insurance)page for details. Using Insurance at ECHO If you plan to use insurance, please book your appointment at least 24 hours in advance so we have time to verify benefits. If you have any questions before booking, please email us.(mailto:hello@echoacupuncture.com) Many insurance plans cover acupuncture for pain-related conditions, or for nausea related to pregnancy or chemotherapy, but coverage varies widely. Some plans are limited to specific diagnoses, while others offer broader benefits. We’re happy to verify benefits as a courtesy once you’re booked, but we also recommend confirming coverage directly with your insurer. For OHP and TriWest, a referral from a primary care provider is required. Don’t see your plan listed? We’re continually expanding our insurance networks. If your plan isn’t listed but you feel drawn to our clinic, reach out—we’re happy to check on your coverage.

We accept Auto Injury claims (no medical referral required) and Workers’ Compensation cases (referral required) for qualifying acupuncture treatment. If your doctor or case manager has approved treatment, please contact us before booking. We’ll confirm referral requirements and help coordinate any needed documentation. Please note: These visits fall under our Pain & Nerve Dysfunction service category. Be sure to select the appropriate option when it's time to schedule.

Yes. If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), you can either: • Pay directly with your FSA/HSA card at the time of service, or • Pay out of pocket and use the superbill we provide to request reimbursement from your FSA/HSA administrator. Important details: • FSA/HSA funds can only be used for expenses related to a diagnosed medical issue—not for general wellness or preventative care. • This process is separate from health insurance. If you need a superbill for out-of-network insurance reimbursement, we can prepare one in the correct format for that purpose.

Moxa can be added to private acupuncture sessions when clinically appropriate. Please ask during your appointment—no need to book separately. Add-on fee applies.

Not sure where to begin? That’s completely okay. We offer both focused and general care—some people start with a complex issue, others with a sense that something is off. Whether you're drawn to gentle wellness care, deeper diagnostic sessions, or simply want to rest and reset, we’ll meet you there. If you're unsure which service to choose, start with the one that best matches the main reason you’re seeking care—or use our contact form below to reach out for a quick recommendation.
