How to use Insurance with Acupuncture

I am IN NETWORK with Blue Shield, which means there's a process to use this:

• EMAIL your card and CA Driver’s License to Hello@theneedleandleaf.com
• Verification doens’t take very long. It’s mostly based on pain conditions, so be aware- This may impact your eligibility.
• ADDING to patient’s lives in 2026; if you paid for it, USE IT.

Going into 2026, I’m focused on creating more value for EVERY patient.

• Verification doens’t take very long. It’s mostly based on pain conditions, so be aware- This may impact your eligibility.
• ADDING to patient’s lives in 2026; if you paid for it, USE IT.

Going into 2026, I’m focused on creating more value for EVERY patient.

Most patients are approved for care almost immediately. UHC and Optum shockingly have very good coverage for acupuncture.
