Insurance

Heart In Hand Acupunture in Hood River is a mostly cash-based practice and I will provide a superbill for your full Benefit Reimbursement.

If you have a plan that covers “out of network” practitioners you can fax/mail your superbill to your insurance company for reimbursement. Here are the questions to ask your insurance company before coming in:

  • Ask if your plan includes treatment with acupuncture.

  • Ask if you need a referral.

  • Find out what your co-pay is.

  • Find out what your deductible is and whether it has been met.

  • Find out what your yearly acupuncture allowance is or how many visits per calendar year you are allowed.

Most acupuncture allowances range from $500 – $1,500 per year or 10 – 24 visits per year.

At Heart In Hand Acupuncture, Hood River I am a preferred provider with:

  • Regence BlueCross/BlueShield of Oregon

I also accept Personal Injury Protection (PIP) claims from motor vehicle accidents

I look forward to supporting you on your health journey.

Why Cupping Is an Additional Cost During Your Acupuncture Visit

While cupping therapy is often used alongside acupuncture to enhance treatment, it is considered a separate service. Unfortunately, most insurance plans do not cover cupping, even if they cover acupuncture. 

This means that:

  • Your insurance only pays for the acupuncture portion of the visit.

  • Any additional services, like Cupping are considered out-of-pocket expenses.

  • Because we want to be transparent, we inform patients that Cupping will incur an additional fee to be balanced billed.

If you’d like to check whether your specific plan includes cupping, we recommend calling your insurance provider directly. We're also happy to provide documentation for your records.
