VA and Acupuncture Insurance Information
VA Community Care is our priority insurance program
We welcome Veterans who have an approved VA Community Care referral or authorization for acupuncture. Before scheduling with a non-VA provider, VA generally requires approval from the Veteran’s VA health care team. The authorization letter identifies the approved provider, covered care, authorization period, and visit limits.
Other insurance and authorization questions
Acupuncture benefits vary by plan, network, diagnosis, referral, and authorization. We can discuss the information typically needed to check benefits, but only the health plan or program can confirm coverage and payment.
- Workers’ Compensation authorization information
- Kaiser referral information
- UnitedHealthcare benefit information
- IEHP (Inland Empire Health Plan) benefit and authorization information
- Other commercial PPO, network, and delegated-plan benefits may vary.
Before you call
Please have the plan name, member-services telephone number, referral or authorization number if applicable, approved dates, and approved visit count available. Do not email medical records, insurance identification numbers, or payment information through an ordinary email message.
