Medicare is seeking for public comment on National Coverage for Acupuncture treatment for back pain.

Public Comment Period:  01/15/2019 - 02/14/2019

We are in very exciting times. Acupuncture is gaining more and more popularity. Expanded coverage through Medicare and other insurances can make it easy for you to see an acupuncturist in the future. But to make this change we need to do something and we have an opportunity to do that now! We have the chance to show that people want coverage for their acupuncture treatments. 

                                                                                                                                            Suggestions:

1. You can leave a comment by telling your story of how acupuncture treatment has helped your pain. 

2. You can leave a comment stating that the total cost of acupuncture by a licensed acupuncturist is much less than current conventional treatment which is covered by your insurance. It can save lots money for insurance.

3. You can simply say that acupuncture treatment helped you and you support Medicare coverage.
