Tamara is a preferred provider for several health insurance companies. Currently in Virginia we are in-network with Aetna (including UVA health plans) and Blue Cross/Anthem. Some plans also offer coverage for out-of-network providers. We recommend calling your insurance provider to make sure that your specific plan covers acupuncture. We also can help you with the process of verifying benefits. We will either bill directly for you, or provide insurance forms (“superbills”) to be submitted to your insurance company directly. We will do our best to verify benefits prior to a first appointment. If we are not able to do this, clients are asked to pay for their initial visit while we verify insurance coverage. Many plans require a simple copay. Others may involve paying a percentage of the visit to be paid after the deductible is met. We are available to help you figure out your benefits.

For clients who pay at the time of service and who are not requiring that we bill insurance are offered a “time of service” rate.

Please call the office for current rates!
