This practice does not bill any third party, including Medicare, other medical insurance or worker’s comp.
Many people in Massachusetts do not have true insurance coverage for acupuncture or herbal medicine. On the chance that you are covered, this practice doesn't directly bill insurance. If
you have coverage and your company allows, paperwork is provided so that you can be reimbursed. It is up to you to find out if your carrier will reimburse you and what information and
paperwork is needed.
Full payment is expected at the time of treatment.
Some companies provide what is called an "affinity plan", where the acupuncturist gives discounted services in exchange for being listed on the plan. This practice doesn't participate in any these plans.
Acupuncture:
The first visit is 90 minutes and costs $130. This visit includes time for history, evaluation and a full acupuncture treatment.
Follow up visits are about 1 hour and cost $90.
Microneedling has a different fee schedule. Please call or email to discuss.
Prices are subject to change.
Herbal Consultations:
If you are already receiving acupuncture, the herbal consult is included in the treatment. You will just pay for the herbs prescribed. The cost ranges from $10-$30/week. Kristin has no financial incentive to prescribe herbs from her pharmacy. The price you pay just covers the her cost of the herbs, pharmacy maintenance and tax.
Currently, Kristin is not using herbs as a stand alone treatment. You must be willing to receive acupuncture periodically if you would like herbal recommendations.
Forms of payment accepted:
Cash, checks, all the major credit cards, Venmo.
You may use your health care spending account for acupuncture but not for the cost of herbs or supplements or microneedling.
We are not equipped with a debit pin pad, so debit cards are not accepted unless they can be used as a credit card.
I am grateful to have the opportunity to tell anyone reading this about my experience with Kristin over the years. She is a skilled acupuncturist whose approach, always kind and compassionate, makes patients feel at ease and respected. She listens attentively, intuitively decides on a course of treatment, follows through with gentleness, listening and responding to feedback from her patients. She brings a deep knowledge and understanding of the human body and the very subtle signs indicating areas that are out of balance. She has successfully treated me for a variety of health difficulties, large and small. I have never been disappointed in the outcome of her treatments and am grateful to have such a competent, wise, and compassionate person supporting me in my quest to maintain and improve my health. -C.L.
