INSURANCE & BILLING: Making Your Care as Accessible as Possible
At Front Porch Acupuncture, our priority is simple — to provide you with the highest quality acupuncture care in a setting that is unhurried, personal, and deeply therapeutic. To protect that experience, we operate as a private pay practice and do not bill insurance companies directly.
What this means for you is straightforward — and it may be better news than you think.

WE ARE A PRIVATE PAY PRACTICE
───────────────────────────────
We collect payment at the time of your visit. This keeps your care simple, your appointments on time, and your treatment completely free from insurance restrictions — meaning we treat what you need, for as long as you need it, without having to justify your care to an insurance company.
Our current session fee is $110. Initial consultation and treatment fee is $145
We accept cash, check, and all major credit cards.
HSA and FSA cards are welcome.

WE PROVIDE A SUPER-BILL — AND YOU MAY BE COVERED
───────────────────────────────
Here is what many patients don't know: even though we don't bill your insurance directly, you may still be able to receive significant reimbursement from your insurance plan.
At the end of every visit, upon request, we provide you with a detailed Super-bill — a professional medical receipt containing all of the procedure codes, diagnosis codes, and provider information your insurance company needs to process your claim. You simply submit this document to your insurance provider, and in many cases they will reimburse you directly — often covering a substantial portion of your session cost.
Many of our patients find that their insurance covers anywhere from 50% to 80% of their session fee once their deductible has been met. We encourage every patient to call the member services number on the back of their insurance card and ask specifically:
• Do I have out-of-network acupuncture benefits?
• What is my out-of-network deductible?
• What percentage of the allowed amount will be reimbursed after my deductible?
• Do I need a referral or prior authorization for acupuncture?
Those four questions will give you a clear picture of what you can expect back from your plan.
We are happy to assist you in understanding your Super-bill and how to submit it. Just ask at your next visit.

WORKERS COMPENSATION PATIENTS — WELCOME
───────────────────────────────
Workplace injuries are exhausting — physically, emotionally, and administratively. We want to make your care here as simple as possible.
We welcome patients with open Workers Compensation claims. Acupuncture is highly effective for many common workplace injuries, including back and neck pain, repetitive strain injuries, joint pain, sciatica, and headaches following workplace incidents.
​
At Front Porch, payment is collected directly at the time of your visit. We then provide you with a detailed superbill and supporting documentation to submit to your Workers Compensation carrier for reimbursement.
Please bring your Workers Compensation claim number and case manager contact information to your first appointment.
───────────────────────────────
HSA & FSA ACCOUNTS
───────────────────────────────
Acupuncture is an IRS-qualified medical expense, which means you can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for your sessions directly — with pre-tax dollars. This is a simple and often overlooked way to significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost.

HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT BILLING?
───────────────────────────────
