Welcome to your billing and coding weekly solutions by American Acupuncture Council Network (AAC).
Is there an increase in demand for acupuncture in the US?
With holistic medicine treatments on the rise in the US today, more Americans are looking for treatment methods that address the whole person instead of just physical symptoms.
According to a National Health Interview Survey, acupuncture is one of the treatments that is on the rise.
Data from this survey revealed an increase in the uses of acupuncture from approximately 4% to 6% of Americans over 5 years, and supports a trend for the mainstreaming of acupuncture in the US.
The patients surveyed said acupuncture was used as a complementary and alternative approach to conventional treatment for a specific health condition, but many also used it as a preventative treatment to promote general health.
Remember, billing with incorrect acupuncture CPT and ICD codes can lead to claim rejections and delays in payments, which can have a devastating impact on generating revenue and keeping you in business.
