You’ll want to verify your health insurance coverage before arranging your first visit.
Some of the Most Common Accepted Insurance Plans:
- BlueCross and/or BlueShield
- Harvard Pilgrim Health Care
- Tufts
- United Health Care
- Healthsmart Benefit Plans
Use the following procedure if your insurance provider is not listed above. You may still be eligible for coverage:
- Call the member services number on your insurance card and ask if acupuncture services are covered.
- Important: Ask if there are diagnostic code restrictions to coverage
- If covered, is it: in-network? / out-of-network? is there a copay? a deductible?
- If they tell you my office is out-of-network, you may have recourse to make it ‘in-network’ (which means less copay/deductible). Tell them you wish to see Ted Pappas at ‘in-network’ rates. This is because there are no network providers within a ‘reasonable‘ distance. They will (usually) prepare a form to set things up accordingly. This form will be mailed to both you and my office.
- If your health insurance does not coveracupuncture services, you will as a courtesy, receive a generous 20% discount off the regular fees:
- Initial Consult Fee $96 (Reg. $120)
- Cost (per session) $64 (Reg. $80)
What if you have No Health Insurance?
