Legislation Reform in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine News

info@hawaiihealthguide.com — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0100

How Will Health Care Reform Affect Health Psychologists and Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Practitioners? Reform expands coverage for acupuncturists and standardizes reimbursement for their services. How? Most importantly, the legislation: • Recognizes the health care field in the U.S. as inclusive of licensed complementary and alternative medicine providers and integrative health practitioners (acupuncturists are licensed in 44 states). • Introduces non-discrimination language, which prohibits third-party payers from self-determining reimbursement strictly based on the licensed status of a provider (e.g.a dentist, acupuncturist, naturopathic doctor, etc.).
