I got United Healthcare to pay 70% of my acupuncture for about 6 months. After the months, I was finally preganant but then lost the pregnancy and I haven't been back to acupuncture since this happened. I'm sure UHC would pay for it again if I asked. I went for acupuncture twice a week, and paid for acupuncture upfront and then UHC reimbursed me. They were awful about reimbursement and I needed to call them CONSTANTLY to remind them to pay me back. But I still got the money.
My UHC plan said that acupuncture was 100% covered if administered by a medical doctor. However, there weren't any medical doctor's within a 50 mile radius who were also doctors of acupuncture. That was my argument with UHC, so they agreed to pay for it as "out of network", which is the 70% reimbursement.
Good luck and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
