Best Answer

It depends on the insurance company and the specific plan. The bigger companies such as Blue Cross, Aetna and Cigna have started to cover at least part of the cost. Smaller companies are slower to follow. Some companies allow it to be covered as part of a flexible spending plan. You should check with your insurance company before any appointment or ask that question specifically of a company representative when shopping for new policies.

Does acupuncture cure arthritis?

The National Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Information Clearinghouse acknowledges acupuncture as an established method for stopping arthritis pain for short periods of time. Researchers believe that the needles stimulate deep sensory nerves that tell the brain to release natural painkillers (endorphins). Note that acupressure is similar to acupuncture, but pressure is applied to the acupuncture sites instead of needles. A first visit to an acupuncturist usually costs between $50 and $125. Expect follow-up visits to range from $30 to $80. Physicians generally charge a little more. . Acupuncture is one of the CAM therapies that are more commonly covered by insurance. However, you should check with your insurer before you start treatment to see whether acupuncture will be covered for your condition and, if so, to what extent. Some insurance plans require preauthorize for acupuncture.
