Fees & Insurance Coverage
How Much Does a Visit Cost?Like most medical fees, our fees vary depending on the complexity of your case, how much time is spent, whether your visit includes acupuncture, and whether we bill your insurance. A straightforward problem of low complexity will take less time and cost less than a comprehensive evaluation of multiple health problems, chronic diseases or conditions of high complexity.
If you would like an estimate of fees for initial and subsequent visits, please don't hesitate to call or contact Michele Hangee-Bauer, the office manager, at Michele@SOMAacupuncture.com. She will gladly estimate the cost of your initial and return visits.Does Insurance Cover Naturopathic Medicine?Naturopathic doctors became licensed in January 2005. At this time, most insurance companies have not yet recognized our profession for insurance coverage; however, some of our patients have had their ND visits covered, and we recommend that you submit our bills for reimbursement. We are hopeful that more and more plans will cover this type of care as time goes on. As always, we are happy to check on your benefits for you.Does Insurance Cover Acupuncture? Many insurance plans today cover acupuncture. If you have insurance and are not sure if they cover acupuncture, please contact Michele Hangee-Bauer, the office manager, at Michele@SOMAacupuncture.com.. She will call your insurance company to confirm your benefits and eligibility. Do We Belong to Any Networks?Our doctors carefully consider which networks to join. The following are the networks we currently belong to. In order to receive benefits from network participation, your insurance would first have to cover our services (see above).

What about Auto Accidents or Work-Related Injuries?We have treated hundreds of victims of work-related injuries, auto accidents, and other personal injuries. Injured workers in California are entitled to acupuncture coverage; however, it may seem difficult to navigate through the system of employers and insurers. Our office manager, Michele Hangee-Bauer, is an expert in assisting you in obtaining the authorization you need to be treated with acupuncture for these injuries. Please give her a call at any time.If you have any questions or concerns about insurance coverage, please call us at 415-643-6600.
