In Salisbury, I am in-network with CareFirst/BlueCross BlueShield, United Healthcare, Optum/VA, and UMR. Other companies such as Aetna, Cigna, and John’s Hopkins may offer coverage of acupuncture for pain relief if you have out-of-network acupuncture benefits. I am not in-network with Medicare, however some Medicare Advantage plans will cover my acupuncture services.
To initiate a new patient appointment, I ask that we do an insurance verification first before scheduling.
Please use the link below to access our secure insurance verification form. We will contact you with your benefits once they have been verified, which takes 1-3 days.
Instructions:
