My new health insurance plan covers 18 visits/year of acupuncture, but there's no one in my area in the network. My acupuncturist is part of the plan, but apparently not for Medicare--only non-Medicare. I explained the situation to her and she said she'll join. I'm sure they won't pay her her minimum, but maybe I can pay HER a co-pay. I like her and would like to work something out with her.
