As organisations such as an Americal Medical Association are starting to recommend acupuncture as frontline treatment, insurance companies are increasingly covering acupuncture costs.
If your insurance is not listed here, it doesn’t mean they will not pay for your treatment. Come in, get a treatment plan from us and then get in touch with them.
If you’re interested in acupuncture treatment but concerned about the cost, there may be options to help cover the expense. Here are some potential options to explore.

Unimed
Unimed, one of the top four health insurers in New Zealand, offers coverage for acupuncture under their Hospital Select and Health Positive plans.
ACC
If your injury is registered with ACC, they may cover the cost of acupuncture treatment, although a co-payment applies. Be sure to provide your valid ACC claim number and/or ACC45 number prior to treatment.
If the injury is older than one year, additional paperwork is required prior to treatment.

Patients registered with Work and Income may be eligible for assistance. Please request for a referral from your GP and consult with WINZ before you make an appointment.
