Finding exceptional
care shouldn't
require a decoder ring.
Cash pay is always the cleanest path — no delays, no denials, no surprises. For those who need to use insurance, I’ve built referral relationships that make it work. Here’s exactly what I accept and how each path works.

Your body is telling the truth. I can show you the proof.™
Cash pay. No waiting,
no gatekeeping.
Yes — and it’s the option I’d recommend if it’s available to you. Paying out of pocket means no insurance delays, no prior authorizations, no claim denials standing between you and care. You pay directly at the time of service, and your full attention stays on getting better — not on paperwork. Acupuncture is an FSA/HSA-eligible expense — your funds apply directly at the time of service.

Yes. Use your FSA or HSA
at the time of service.
Acupuncture is an FSA and HSA-eligible expense — your funds apply directly when you pay. Most plans recognize acupuncture as a billable service, though it is the patient’s responsibility to confirm eligibility with their individual plan before scheduling. If your plan requires documentation, we can provide a detailed receipt or superbill at your request.
Your plan may cover
more than you think.
Many PPO plans include out-of-network acupuncture benefits — sometimes significantly. Before you assume you’re paying out of pocket, let me run a complimentary benefits check. I’ll verify your coverage, walk you through your out-of-pocket estimate, and you decide how to proceed.

Injured in an accident?
I treat on lien.
I accept personal injury patients and treat on lien in qualifying cases — meaning you receive care now, with billing resolved at the close of your case. I work with a wide range of personal injury cases and I am also a registered MoveDocs provider, making it simple for law firms and case managers using the MoveDocs network to refer directly.
