AcupunctureFrequency & Cost of Treatments
One Acupuncture session does not typically result in lasting pain relief. Usually, a series of sessions over a short period of time (e.g. two or more times per week for several weeks) is a normal course of treatment. It may take several treatments before noticeable relief of symptoms is felt. After assessing each the needs of the individual, he acupuncturist will provide information on the estimated number of treatments needed and how much each will cost.
Acupuncture is now becoming a therapy that is more commonly covered by insurance. It is important to verify coverage with your insurance before beginning a course of treatments, as insurance may only be covered for certain conditions and/or to a limited extent. Some insurance plans require preauthorization for Acupuncture.
The cost of Acupuncture sessions vary according to the acupuncturist. Physician acupuncturists may charge more than non-physician practitioners. Hourly fees range from $50 to over $150, with some Acupuncturists offering discounts based on the number of treatments required.
