Insurance & Billing

We Handle the Paperwork

Rick Peterson, L.Ac. accepts most major insurance, workers' compensation, and personal injury liens — so you can focus on healing, not billing.

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.
