Insurance
Jessica is in-network with these insurance providers:
-
Blue Cross Blue Shield
-
United Healthcare
If you have one of these insurance plans, your acupuncture visits may be covered, and Jessica can submit the claim for you. Please contact Jessica with your insurance information so that your acupuncture benefits can be verified before your first appointment. Please note that copayments and coinsurance payments are due at the time of service.
If you have another insurance plan, you may have out-of-network benefits for acupuncture - call your insurance provider for more information. If you have out-of-network coverage for acupuncture, you are responsible for the full cost of the session at the time of service. Jessica's office will provide a detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
