Small News/Politics Graphic California Approves Acupunture Plus+ Healthcare Plan
From Natural Healthline by Michael Evers


California businesses can now provide their employees acupuncture and Chinese medicine health coverage with Acupunture Plus+, the first alternative, stand-alone acupuncture healthcare plan that also provides comprehensive Chinese medical benefits. California is the first state to approve Acupunture Plus+; the company intends to obtain approvals for the plan throughout the nation over the next 12-18 months.

The Acupunture Plus+ plan is approved for businesses with 51 or more employees, and is available as a stand-alone option, or as an additional benefit through participating HMOs (health maintenance organizations).

Clifford Der, founder, president and CEO of privately-held Acupunture Plus+ said, "Unlike Western medicine where costs can be astronomical, acupuncture and other Chinese medical therapies offer much lower cost alternatives for over 40 medical conditions: from the common cold, acute and chronic pain, chronic fatigue and anxiety to fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, asthma, arthritis and diabetes. With Californians spending some $20 billion a year on healthcare costs, alternative medical treatments, such as acupuncture and Chinese herbs, can relieve chronic and acute conditions at significantly reduced costs, and often without troubling side effects, as well."

Acupunture Plus+ is backed by Alburger Basso de Grosz (ABD), the largest privately-held re-insurance company in the world, and the ACU-CARE network of acupuncturists. The plan presently encompasses over 300 of California's 3,500 licensed and active acupuncturists, and also provides coverage for using out-of-network acupuncturists.
