Insurance:
You may find out your coverage by calling the toll free number on your insurance card. Should your insurance cover your acupuncture treatment, our office will, as a courtesy, provide you a standard insurance form (SUPERBILL) for you to mail in and get direct reimbursement from your insurance. After the 8th acupuncture session as a courtesy we can provide a SUPERBILL for you if you request it.
WHAT IS A SUPERBILL?
A superbill is a form used by medical practitioners and clinicians that can be completed and submitted to an insurance company or employer for reimbursement. Nowadays, many professionals do not work directly with insurance companies. That is, they do not sign up to be a part of a medical panel or part of an insurance panel; they work as independent consultants. As such, a need arose to provide patients and clients with a document that could be submitted to insurance companies that would allow clients to be reimbursed by their insurers. A superbill can be prepared for you at the time of an office visit, or if you see your medical practitioner frequently, it can be prepared for you weekly or monthly.
The superbill should contain the following elements:
Your name
Your address and phone
Your birthday
Your doctor's name
Your doctor's address
Your doctor's license number, NPI number, tax ID number
Your diagnosis
The service rendered to you
The cost of the treatment
The amount you paid
A release authorization statement
Your signature
Your doctor's signature
Once you receive your superbill, check it for accuracy (make sure the dates/times of your visit and the amounts you paid are correct). Then simply submit the document to your insurance company for reimbursement. Your insurance company MAY reimburse you depending on the level of coverage you have. Prior to starting work with a clinician who uses superbills, you should contact your insurance company and say, "I want to work with an out-of-network provider, how much will you reimburse me?" The only way to know for sure what your insurance company will pay is to ask them directly, or better yet, get it in writing via fax or email.
Be aware that should you choose to submit a superbill, you are releasing medical information that is protected by law. This means you are waiving some of your rights to provacy and confidentiality. Your insurance company will have and keep a record of your diagnosis as part of your permanent medical file. These files can be used by insurance companies to set your rates and to allow or disallow further treatment.
SUBMITTING A SUPERBILL TO YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY DOES NOT GUARANTEE REIMBURSEMENT OR PAYMENT FROM YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY DIRECTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION. ALL INSURANCE TRANSACTIONS WILL BE BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY.

FIND THE BEST PHYSICIAN ACUPUNCTURIST
You must choose your acupuncturist carefully. Achieving good results with acupuncture requires a skillful and knowledgeable person; one who has studied extensively and has been trained thoroughly. To competently practice acupuncture, three to five years of training is required. In the state of California, the laws regarding the use of acupuncture is rigid and firm and a genuine and qualified acupuncturist has to pass a state board test to acquire a license. The California State Board of Medical Quality Assurance certifies the acupuncturist after passing both the written and practical portions of the exam with an L.Ac. We hope that you have found answers to questions about acupuncture. To locate a qualified physician acupuncturist, contact Agape Acupuncture, Inc. 949.877.8889
