************************* A note about Medicare *****************************
Medicare coverage for acupuncture; Medicare Secondary Insurance; Medicare Supplemental Insurance
Medicare has approved acupuncture for low back pain but services must be provided in a primary care practice and submitted under an MD's license. At this time, an acupuncturist cannot submit claims directly to medicare. This is because acupuncturist are not approved to be medicare providers yet.
Secondary Medicare plans are different. An acupuncturist can submit insurance claims to secondary medicare plans. Secondary plans will have an additional benefit plan that often includes 12 acupuncture visits a year in the state of WA. Regence and United Health Care etc are examples of this, but make sure that your insurance offers these benefits by calling the number on the back of your insurance card.
Supplemental insurance plans don't cover acupuncture unless Medicare covers acupuncture. Supplemental plans will only cover services that Medicare covers. Supplemental plans pay the remainder of the claim after Medicare pays for their portion. If Medicare doesn't cover a service, supplemental insurance will also not cover the service. AARP is an example of this. Your card may say 'Supplemental.' Some Regence and Premera plans only have supplemental coverage instead of secondary coverage, so make sure to check your card or call the number on the back of your card.
If you have an additional Medicare insurance plan, take a look at your card and see if it says Secondary or Supplemental. Call your insurance plan and ask if you have acupuncture benefits for conditions other than low back pain. *
