Every insurance package is put together differently. You can check our acupuncture insurance rate(/acupuncture-insurance-rates) here. We highly recommend having our team confirm acupuncture insurance benefits prior to your first treatment.  This is a simple process. Please text (646-483-3086), or email (tara@genwellacupuncture.com) an image of the front and back of your insurance card and include your full name and date of birth. We are usually able to get back to you within a day or so with the results.
