If you want to put through insurance, we do not confirm benefits. We are in-network with Aetna, Anthem and Cigna only here in Connecticut, NOT CONNECTICARE. We do not submit to out-of-network insurers. Many of these insurance providers do not provide acupuncture coverage as part of their standard coverage. However, company/individual policies may have additions or riders on their own policies to specifically include some type of acupuncture treatment.

You can call your provider to see if the following codes for procedure codes for acupuncture are covered - 97810 & 97811.

If you do have acupuncture benefits you then want to follow up with "is coverage diagnosis dependent?" Meaning they only cover specific diagnoses, so you will need to explain the reason for your visit. You will also want to inquire if there is a limit per year. Also, we strongly recommend getting a reference number for that call, so if your claim is denied, you will have it to challenge any denial.
