If you've been in a car accident or suffered a workplace injury, you may be entitled to treatment at no out-of-pocket cost to you. Call the front desk at (760) 438-9548 to verify your specific coverage before your first visit.
What We Accept
Major Medical Insurance
We accept most PPO and HMO plans. Our front desk will verify your acupuncture benefits and explain any copays or deductibles before your first appointment.
Personal Injury (Auto Accidents)
Injured in a car accident? You may be entitled to acupuncture treatment through a personal injury lien — meaning no upfront cost to you. We bill your attorney or the at-fault party's insurance directly.
