No, I’m sorry. I Don’t Take Insurance
Unfortunately I don’t accept insurance. If insurance is a deal breaker for you, thanks for visiting. I hope you found some great info. May your journey lead you to your dreams.
If you are still reading, there are some points I want you to know:
I appreciate and treat all the levels of your fertility. This takes time and energy. I don’t stick needles into you and walk away to treat another 30 clients that day.
I spend A LOT OF TIME getting to know you and your fertility. Yes, I am with you during the treatment. This way I can adapt and shift the treatment to what you and your body needs.
I am accessible to my clients. No secretary, no answering service. If you need me, you can reach me. Since I only treat a small group of clients, I am accessible. If you are doing IVF, we will be staying in contact as the procedure unfolds. Have questions, I’m here to answer them.
I am dedicated to you and your treatment process. I believe insurance companies have dumbed down the medical system to maximize their profit. As an offshoot, medical practitioners are under pressure to treat volume. Which leads to less time to answer your questions, listen to you and be present for your well being. Not here. I am dedicated to the question: “How can I help you and your body to be the best it can be?”
The above items helped me cultivate a practice which makes my heart content. I enjoy helping women. I am completely blessed to go on journeys with the ladies in my practice. I am grateful for the beautiful women I treat. I love my work.
Unfortunately, insurance only pays for the insertion of needles. Insurance only covers limited adjunct services - not enough to cover what I do.
Thus to make money from insurance, I would need to treat volume. With a high volume practice, women become a blur. A fuzzy vague memory of someone ovulating or starting IVF. I have found this to wear my heart out and I lost the wonder and beauty of women who bless my practice.
The way I treat clients is important to me. Over the years, I’ve realized how important it is to me to CONNECT with my clients and make a living at the same time. I can not give up the best parts of myself as a practitioner - which would need to happen - to take insurance.
Here’s the upside:
I can give you a monthly bill - containing all the codes - so you can submit to your insurance for out of network reimbursement. Many of my clients get reimbursed.
Acupuncture is covered by health spending plans. In fact, I have a credit card system which will read your card to streamline your access to the funds.
Talking about credit cards. I take just about all of them.
Final Note: I don’t hang onto clients and I’m comfortable having difficult conversations.
First - Insurance allows things - which are not working - to linger. It’s easy to stay in a healing modality when someone else is paying for it. It’s easy as a practitioner to say give it another 5 treatments because your benefits will pay or just wait til the benefit gets yanked. Not with me. When things are not progressing we would be discussing it. Sometimes treatments don’t work and you might need to move onto another modality. No sticking our heads in the sand.
Second - insurance makes the “maintenance” plan an easy sell. Right? Once again - I don’t believe every client who comes to me needs to be with me for life. Yes, I have regular clients but THEY made the decision to continue with me. You will not get any sales pitch about being with me every six weeks until you’re 90.
