HOW MUCH DOES ACUPUNCTURE COST? DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE?

Cost of Acupuncture Treatments
The cost of the combined initial diagnostic session and first acupuncture treatment is $150. The cost of all follow-up acupuncture treatments is $100*. 

​​* At Wisdom Traditions Acupuncture, we do not believe that cost should be a barrier to treatment. If you feel that this is the case for you, please contact us and we can discuss options for making treatment affordable.
​
Insurance
We do accept insurance. Marni Adhikari, L.Ac is an in-network provider with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna. Other insurance policies that cover acupuncture are also accepted, as long as there is no in-network practitioner requirement. Please note that not all Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, or Aetna plans cover acupuncture. We recommend calling the customer service number on the back of your card to learn about the details of your coverage before your first appointment. Good questions to ask include whether there is a deductible to be met before coverage begins, what your copay is, and whether there is a limit to the number of treatments you receive in a year. 

Local plans that cover acupuncture include (but are not limited to) Blue Cross Blue Shield plans for employees of UVM Medical Center, the University of Vermont, the City of Burlington, the State of Vermont, and the Federal government. 

Payment 
​For payment, we accept cash, checks, all major credit cards, HSA cards, and Apple Pay. Payment is due at the time of treatment.

Workers Comp
Wisdom Traditions Acupuncture is also an approved provider of the following Federal Worker’s Compensation programs:

· Division of Federal Employees Compensation Act (FECA)
· Division of Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation (DDOIC)
· Federal Black Lung Program

Missed Appointments and Late Cancellations

There is a $75 charge for any missed appointments with less than 24 hours notice. Exceptions may be made for emergency cancellations on a case by case basis.
