Small News/Politics Graphic Insurance companies that pay for acupuncture

In some parts of the USA, and of course the world, acupuncture is a daily part of many people's lives. However not all of those people are in decision making positions at insurance companies.

This list represents an on-going survey and service that Acupuncture.com provides to give consumers a list of insurance companies that cover acupuncture. Ultimately, we would like to see insurance also pay for herbal medicines and therapies such as Qi Gong. Many already cover therapeutic massage.

This list has only just begun, as it grows, so will the quality of information available here. Until this list grows long and diverse, a great source for companies that pay for acupuncture would be your local practitioner of Chinese medicine. He or she likely works with insurance companies on a weekly basis and can give you at least a partial list of companies in your area/state/province/country that pay for this service.

Insurance is a highly regulated industry with legal nooks and crannies above and beyond the scope of this article. The list that follows may or may not be accurate in your area, but its a start. When E-mail addresses and phone numbers are available, they will be uploaded.

If your company is not listed here, remember that insurance companies are very sensitive to your needs, especially when you express those needs with your money. If you want more insurance companies to cover acupuncture, just ask for their marketing department and express your desire. They may say "no" because of lack of research, or some other other reason, but in the end, it is the marketplace that will generate the growth of acupuncture, not the skeptics.
