We offer the following discounts to individuals who pay in-full at time of treatment:

10% discount for seniors (65+)

$10 discount for eligible Medi-Cal patients (please bring ID)

Insurance

We accept Private Insurance (PPO plans), Worker’s Compensation, and Personal Injury Insurance. Rates include a $10 insurance processing fee for each individual visit billed. Download the Insurance Verification Form or request the form from clinic staff when you arrive for your appointment. If you prefer to bill your own insurance, we can provide a statement for you.

Massage, Facial Acupuncture, and Weight Management Acupuncture are rarely covered by insurance. If you wish to have us bill your insurance for these treatments, please have this cleared by your insurance company in advance.
