New Patient Forms
If possible, we would like you to fill out our intake form prior to your first visit; please email us a request at info@whitepeony.com. You may email it back to us before your first visit or bring it in with you. We look forward to meeting you!
What can I expect on my first visit?
Your provider will review your medical history as well as review lab reports, discuss your health concerns and goals, feel your wrist pulses, look at your tongue, answer any questions you have, then you will receive acupuncture. Hair-thin, sterile, single-use needles are inserted, as you rest comfortably for thirty minutes to 45 minutes. Most people feel incredibly relaxed during and after acupuncture.
Please have something light to eat before your appointment; it’s best not to be too hungry or too full when you receive acupuncture. If you exercise daily, it’s best to do this before acupuncture treatment.
We typically suggest herbal medicine, and explain the benefit you can expect from adding it to your treatment plan. On the first or subsequent visits, we may recommend additional modalities such as gua sha, cupping, electro-acupuncture, acupressure, or moxa along with acupuncture, and we will always explain the process to you.
The initial visit is $150, and duration is an hour and a half. Subsequent visits are $100 and duration is 50-70 minutes. Herbs and supplements are an additional cost and range from $2 to $5 per day. We are in network with Cigna, United Health Care, and Optum Health Care and bill them directly for you. We do offer a cash discount for non insurance clients.
What happens at subsequent visits?
We will briefly discuss your progress, then you will receive acupuncture and/or one of the modalities mentioned above. Your provider will make additional recommendations as needed, and compose your herbal formula.
Will insurance cover my acupuncture visits?
Refer to your plan’s online information regarding acupuncture treatment. Kim is in network with Cigna, United Healthcare, and Optum Healthcare. Many plans cover acupuncture out of network. Payment is required at the time of your visit. We will provide you with receipts upon request.
