I know as of last year (2020) Medicare started to allow coverage for Acupuncture for chronic low back pain. I have contacted Medicare in the past to see if Acupuncture is covered by a licensed acupuncturist (L.ac), but when contacting medicare & from what I have gathered online it appears acupuncture is covered by a MD, DO, nurse pract, etc. who is also license in AP, etc.
Does anyone have any clarification on this? I have a patient who is convinced Ap is covered by Medicare when performed by a license Ap. I plan on having her sign an ABN, but wanted to see what actually needs to be done in this situation, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
