Tax Deductions
The costs of acupuncture and herbal medicines are generally considered deductible as medical expenses.  Please consult your tax advisor and refer to IRS Publication 502 for more details.  For a more in-depth article, please visit: Is Acupuncture Tax Deductible?.

Insurance
Few health insurance companies in North Carolina currently cover acupuncture and herbal therapies.  However, some companies offer varying levels of coverage.  Medicaid & Medicare do not provide coverage.  As more and more insurance companies begin to understand the therapeutic benefit & long term cost savings of acupuncture & Chinese herbal medicine, insurance coverage will be expanded.  It is always best to check with your health insurance company first in order to see if you have eligibility and coverage for our services.

If your insurance company will reimburse you for part or all of your treatment, the Charlotte Acupuncture and Wellness Center will provide the necessary legal documentation (i.e. Superbill, copy of your treatment notes, etc.) in order for you to obtain reimbursement from your health insurance company.   We will always do our best to serve your needs.

Flex Plans
Acupuncture is a covered medical expense under many Flex Plans.  Additionally, some plans may reimburse you for the cost of Chinese herbal medicine.  Please check with your Flex Plan administrator to make sure that your particular plan covers acupuncture treatments and/or the cost of Chinese herbal medicine.
