The fees for acupuncture and/or BodyTalk treatment are as follows:

Please note the following financial policies:

• You are expected to make full payment at the time of service.

• Acupuncture West LLC accepts cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, and Debit Card. We do not accept insurance at this time.

• If your insurance covers acupuncture, we will provide you with a Superbill (an itemized insurance receipt) which you may submit to your insurance company and the insurance company will reimburse you directly. You are expected to make full payment at the time of service.
• If you would like a Superbill to submit to your insurance company, please tell us at the time you make your appointment.
• To better understand whether acupuncture is covered on your policy, we recommend that you call your insurance company (there is usually a customer service number on your insurance card) and speak directly with a customer service representative.
