Insurance Information

Health Insurance:

Currently, there are a few local insurance companies that provide coverage for acupuncture only. These include HMAA, UHA, and HMA. Only HMAA does not exclude diagnosis.

Hawaii Electricians Union provides coverage for both naturopathic care as well as acupuncture services. Full payment is required at the time of service and the claim will be filed on your behalf or you can file this yourself if you require speedier reimbursement.

UHA and HMA only cover acupuncture for musculoskeletal pain. eg low back pain, ankle sprain, shoulder pain. If you have insurance through these companies and have another issue you would like to seek treatment for, you are most welcome and are responsible for the entire office fee.
