Does Medicare Advantage cover acupuncture or alternative therapies in some plans?

Answered by 6 licensed agents

Yes Some Medicare Advantage plans may cover Acupuncture. Always check your Summary of Benefits. The Acupuncture benefit could be covered for chronic low back pain only. Not all providers could be included.

Depending on the plan, if it's an HMO or PPO, many PPO plans DO cover acupuncture. not many cover alternative options, this is why you need to look at each plan carefully

Yes, some Medicare Advantage plans cover acupuncture and in order to find out if alternate therapies are covered, this too is plan dependent. Here in Wisconsin, an independent agent like myself has access to Medicare plans from UHC, Humana, Aetna, Network Health, Quartz Health Plans, Molina and Wellcare so it's always wise to check with an experienced, Medicare agent to learn about specific plan benefits.

Yes some do! There are plans depending on where you live that may offer alternative therapies such as chiropractic and acupuncture. It is important to keep in mind that you can only use alternative providers that have a contract with the insurance company of your plan.
