The Success Story of Alternative Medicine

Acupuncture Direct billing in Edmonton
If you have benefits or insurance plans, your acupuncture treatment will most likely be covered by your provider. Direct billing means that the acupuncture clinic will bill the insurance for the treatment without you needing to pay anything. If the clinic doesn’t have direct billing, you will pay, take the receipt, and claim it by submitting it online. Then, you will receive the money back from your insurance company. Typically, insurance plans cover between $200 and $500 worth of treatments. For the Alberta insurance for MVA that allows you to receive free acupuncture treatments after a car accident, please read more here: Acupuncture for car accidents.
Save money with treatment packages – you will pay upfront but receive a good discount for purchasing multiple sessions. If you have insurance coverage and are unsure if Acupuncture is right for you, try it and see how it can help.
Choose the Best Acupuncturist for You.
The better the match with your acupuncturist, the better the results. There isn’t one acupuncturist that is best for everyone, but there is one that is best for you. When choosing an acupuncturist, you should consider the acupuncture techniques, specialties, availability, location, and personal touch. A good connection between the acupuncturist and the patient is essential and supports healing.
