How Much Does Acupuncture Cost?
For acupuncture in Lake Mary, It is charged as a clinic treatment and most procedures (cups, infra- red, laser) are covered, the only procedures that incur additional charges are injections, nutritional supplements and herbal prescriptions.
We do not bill insurance but will provide a super bill for you to claim. Our pricing and treatment is not based on an “insurance price” and a “cash price” we apply the most appropriate treatment to the patients’ needs, not to treatment according to the highest chargeable we can get out of the patients’ insurance company.
Dr. Aitken follows this structure because it allows to her to continue to provide treatment therapies that are focused only on the patient specific needs not insurance billing and corporate clinic requirements.

Every health policy is different and must be verified on an individual basis. Florida regulates Acupuncture Physicians under the Department of Health.
Florida state law defines Acupuncture Physicians as Primary Care Providers, so our position is enhanced to assist you further in negotiating for insurance reimbursement.

Florida MEDICAID and MEDICARE do not cover acupuncture at this time.
As the policy holder, patients are encouraged to call their insurance provider (customer service number on the back of card) to ask about acupuncture coverage.
If coverage is determined, you may only be charged a copay per your plan benefits at the time services are rendered. If coverage determination is delayed and determined at a later date, a bill of the copay may be issued (if applicable) within 60 days.
We will work diligently with your insurance providers to negotiate coverage in your favor, however if any portion is not covered or denied, a bill with be issued within 60 days of service
