FAQs in Cedar Park TX

QRA Acupuncture™ pins are hair-thin. In fact, they are thinner than a Cat’s Whiskers. You will usually feel a little sting when the pins are inserted.

After the insertion of the QRA Acupuncture™ pins, you will feel a very unique sensation. Each person may experience different sensations, but the most common sensations: heaviness, tingling, numbness, aching, soreness, warmth, or nothing at all.

Should you experience any discomfort, inform the Acupuncturist and they will adjust the pins accordingly. When performed by a trained licensed professional, QRA Acupuncture™ is extremely safe. Only sterile and disposable pins are used here at Achieve Integrative Health

With QRA Acupuncture™, you get SIDE BENEFITS… not side effects!

The number of treatments that is required varies based on the type of disorder, length of disorder, and each person’s rate of response to QRA Acupuncture™. In general, acute disorders may require 3-6 treatments to observe effects. For chronic disorders, 10-12 treatments may be required to observe effects. The basic principle is, if it didn’t occur overnight, it will not go away overnight.

Short Answer is Yes.

While some insurance companies do cover QRA Acupuncture™ treatments, it is essential to note that the primary purpose of insurance companies is not necessarily to prioritize patient benefit. Instead, they are primarily profit-driven entities. Insurance policies are designed to manage risk and maintain financial solvency, not to ensure all desired treatments are accessible to policyholders.

Coverages vary widely based on the insurance company and the specific policy. QRA Acupuncture™, often considered an alternative or complementary medicine, might not be covered under many standard insurance policies. This is partly due to the fact that such treatments do not always align with traditional western medical practices, which insurance companies typically prioritize.

Therefore, while some patients may find significant relief or health benefits from QRA Acupuncture™, that does not automatically translate to insurance coverage. Always remember to check the specific terms of your insurance policy and consult with your insurance provider to understand what treatments and services are covered. Insurance is a business, and its primary concern is managing financial risk, not necessarily providing the broadest range of treatment options for policyholders.

With that said, we are IN-NETWORK with Aetna, SANA, United Healthcare (UHC), Triwest (Veteran’s Choice). Please call us if you have one of these insurances and we can call to verify if your specific plan covers acupuncture.

We strive to offer the best care and service to our patients, and in pursuit of this, we have decided to operate as an OUT-OF-NETWORK provider with BCBS, Cigna, Humana. These companies often have numerous administrative processes and may not offer the most favorable coverage for patients and reimbursements for providers.

Our commitment to provide an exceptional, 5-star service and help our patients achieve their desired results would be challenged if we decided to go in-network with these insurance companies.

If your priority is to ensure that your insurance covers QRA Acupuncture™, we understand and respect that decision. We can assist you by referring you to an excellent clinic that accepts your insurance.

However, if your goal is to achieve the best possible results for your health concerns and insurance coverage for QRA Acupuncture™ is secondary, then we are the right clinic for you. We focus on individual care plans to attain the best outcomes for our patients, and we would be thrilled to discuss this further with you. Please give us a call at your earliest convenience.
