Is Acupuncture Covered by Health Insurance?

Acupuncture is one of the CAM therapies that are more commonly covered by insurance.

Some insurance plans require preauthorization for acupuncture. (For more information, see NCCAM's fact sheet "Consumer Financial Issues in Complementary and Alternative Medicine")
