INSURANCE

​

As of March 18, 2024, we will begin accepting new insurance patients again. 

​

Some people are lucky enough to have their insurance company cover acupuncture. People call us all the time asking if we take insurance. We do bill insurance, but that doesn't give you enough information. 

 

The best way to determine what coverage you have is to call your insurance company directly and ask if you have acupuncture benefits. It the answer is yes, inquire further:
 

  • Find out if you have both in and out-of-network benefits.

  • Ask if you have a deductible that must be met.

  • Ask if you have a co-insurance or co-pay.

  • Ask if there are other limitations. 

​

We are currently only in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield (not Empire NYSHIP).

​

All patients who believe they have acupuncture benefits with their health insurance must first get their coverage verified by Bridge to Health staff. In order to do a verification, we will need:
 

  1. A photo of the front AND back of your insurance card.

  2. The correct, full spelling of your name.

  3. Your date of birth.

​

Please contact Chris at the front desk (845) 256-8088 for guidance on submitting insurance verification.

​

Until better legislation is passed to include licensed acupuncturists as Medicare providers, we are unable to bill Medicare.

 

ADDITIONAL SERVICES FOR PATIENTS WITH INSURANCE COVERAGE

​

Insurance companies that cover acupuncture treatment only provide benefits for acupuncture. Some patients in this category will be candidates for the additional services of cupping and bloodletting. Insurance patients will be responsible for these services. Cupping and/or bloodletting is an additional $20/session. 

​

If you wish to purchase a package, you can buy 5 cupping/bloodletting sessions ($100) and the 6th cupping/bloodletting session will be free. As a reminder, this only applies to patients with insurance coverage.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Shadow on Concrete Wall

C B

Nicole is always looking for a new treatment to continue my path to healing. When I first started seeing her I could barely raise my arm due to frozen shoulder that I had battled for years, and received many different treatments including cortisone shots and expensive physical therapy sessions. Months later, my shoulder feels brand new, including full range of motion, with no issues or pain at all. She has also worked extensively with my digestion which has not only been helpful but has also kept me off antibiotics. I highly recommend Bridge to Health for your needs.

Nicole helped me so very much as I recovered from head trauma sustained in an accident. She and Chris both kept my spirits up, and Nicole's treatment brought much needed relief. Plus, she explained every step to me and answered all my questions, so that I found the whole process interesting and informative. I gained a new appreciation of the human body and spirit. My experience was truly excellent!
