Medicare and acupuncture

     Medicare covers acupuncture only if provided by an acupuncturist who is also a physician.  Medicare covers specific conditions for a limited number of treatments per year.  Only a Congressional act can make exclusively licensed acupuncturists Medicare providers.  If you want to help then get involved with the American Society for Acupuncturists to make the change.
