Get Well & Do Right!
Each year, I donate over 10% of my Clinic profits to charities that benefit veterans injured in combat serving our country. I’m a provider for the Veterans Community Care Program.
Health Insurance
I’m in-network with and accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Care First, Federal BCBS, Cigna, United Health Care. I DO NOT ACCEPT MEDICARE, MEDICARE ADVANTAGE, OR MEDICARE SUPPLEMENTAL PLANS. I also don’t accept GEHA/UMR or Compass Rose/UMR insurance.
Even if I’m in your network and your insurance company lists me on its website, it doesn’t mean your policy covers acupuncture. Does having insurance coverage affect your decision to get acupuncture? If so, please don’t make an appointment until you call your company and ask: (1) Does the policy have an acupuncture benefit? If yes, is there a deductible? (2) Has the deductible been met? If not, how much remains to be paid?

How to make an appointment – 3 easy steps
Step 1. Read Steps 2 & 3 first, then click the “PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK…” just below Step 3, and enter your name and email address. It’s best to do this on a desktop instead of your smartphone.
Step 2. Look for an email “New Patient Intake & Consent Forms” from Intakeq.com. If it’s not in your inbox, you either didn’t enter your correct email, or it’s in your Spam folder. The email will have a password and link to access five online forms, including a Health History Intake Questionnaire and four consent forms. Once you complete and e-sign each form, click submit. You’ll get an email confirmation. If not, it means you didn’t fill out the required data, forgot to e-sign, or didn’t click the submit button.
Step 3. Look for the link to the online calendar, which appears once you submit your forms. Select the option for New Patient Appointment or Initial Consultation only, and pick an open date and time on the online calendar (not grayed out).
PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK, BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE AT LEAST 15 MINUTES TO READ AND FILL OUT ALL FIVE FORMS CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY.
Please don’t hesitate to email or text me if you have questions. I promise to respond quickly. Sorry, I don’t have a receptionist, so I can’t take or return calls when we’re with patients. Thanks, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
