VA acupuncture questions

Frequently asked questions about
VA Community Care acupuncture

Does the VA cover acupuncture?

Eligible veterans may receive acupuncture through VA facilities or an authorized VA Community Care provider. Coverage depends on eligibility, referral, authorization, and the services approved by the VA.

How do I get a VA Community Care referral?

Ask your VA care team whether you qualify for Community Care acupuncture. The VA must approve the referral and authorization before treatment begins. Our office can help you understand the information needed after authorization.

What can veterans receive acupuncture for?

Authorized care may address chronic pain and other approved concerns. The exact condition and number of visits must match the VA authorization. Read our guide on how to get VA acupuncture in Orlando.

Can I choose a community acupuncture provider through the VA?

If VA Community Care is authorized, the VA coordinates care with an approved community provider. Ask your VA care team whether community acupuncture is available for your situation and whether Spectrum WellCare can be included in the authorization.

Do I need VA authorization before my first appointment?

Yes. Community Care should be authorized by the VA before non-emergency treatment begins. The authorization identifies the approved care and may include a specific time period or number of visits.

How many acupuncture visits will the VA approve?

There is no single visit number that applies to every veteran. The approved condition, referral and authorization determine the care the VA has authorized. Check the authorization rather than assuming a fixed number of visits.
