It may sound too good to be true, but as a CalPERS Basic and Medicare health plan member, you can receive acupuncture and chiropractic services for a low copay.
Evidence shows these therapies may help you manage acute and chronic pain, alleviate discomfort from injuries, and contribute to overall well-being and long-term health.
For greater access and ease, you don’t need a referral or pre-authorization from your primary care physician or your plan.
Most Basic and Medicare health plan members will have a $15 copay for the first 20 acupuncture and chiropractic visits. After 20 visits, you’ll be responsible for the full costs for any additional appointments.
To take advantage of this benefit coverage, you must see an acupuncturist or chiropractor in your health plan’s network of providers, and you must obtain services as described by your health plan.
For more details, visit the CalPERS health plan webpage where you can find your health plan’s contact information and additional resources.
Remember, the benefit is for a combined total of 20 visits. For a complete list of your specific plan’s benefits, be sure to review the Evidence of Coverage booklet available through our website.
Contact your health plan today to find a provider and take advantage of this available benefit.
