What The Bill Will Do
An Act Relative to the Practice of Acupuncture is an Acupuncture / Insurance Bill (House 1179 and Senate 1458) which would expand insurance coverage for acupuncture treatments of pain, nausea, opiate withdrawal and PTSD. Essentially, if passed, would increase consumer access to acupuncture and best possible care.
We appreciate everyone’s time and support. Together we can make a difference.
