Practice settings can vary from sole provider to group practice to community based settings. Sole provider is one acupuncturist in one office verse to group practice which has multiple acupuncturists in one office.
The community based setting is group of patients share one room.
Some office takes insurance. Some don’t because of difficulties of getting payments from insurance and overhead on billing. Some office just give patients claim statement and have patient file on their own which takes about 3 weeks to receive payment from insurance.
