Insurance coverage varies from state to state. Contact your insurance provider to learn what kind of care is covered. Here are a few questions to ask:

Will my plan cover acupuncture? How many visits per calendar year? Do I need a referral? Do I have a co-pay? Do I have a deductible? If yes, has it been met?

Rates vary and depend upon what procedures are performed. It is best to consult with your acupuncturist about costs.

This varies depending on whether your condition is acute or chronic. While some feel relief after one session, a typical course of treatment involves 6–10 sessions to achieve long-lasting results.
