We will be happy to print receipts for you to
provide to your insurance company.  
However, we are unable to bill your
insurance company directly at this time.
Therefore, we require full cash or credit
payment at the time of your visit, even if
you are to be reimbursed by an insurance
company later.

Our experience has been that most
Missouri insurers do not cover
acupuncture.  (Many West Coast and East
Coast insurers do, but Missouri insurance
companies have been slower to offer this
benefit).  
At Community Acupuncture, we strive to
make treatments affordable for patients.

We offer a sliding scale to any patient who
needs it.  No proof of income is required.  

Our fees for all treatments range from $20 -
$35, based on the patient's own ability to
pay.  For example, some retired people and
students on a budget may pay only $20 per
treatment.  Many patients with a steady
income pay $35 for each treatment.  You
decide how much you can pay.

We also offer a discount for multiple
treatments in the same calendar week.  This
discount is offered to encourage patients to
receive more frequent treatments.  We find
patients who receive acupuncture more
frequently early in their time with us heal
more quickly.  

The discount for multiple visits in the same
calendar week is $5.  So, a patient paying
$35 on Monday would pay only $30 on
Thursday.  A patient paying $20 on Monday
would pay only $15 on Thursday.
Community Acupuncture's fees are
as low as the co-pay I spend at the
Doctor's office.  And, I don't have
to complete all the insurance
paperwork.
