    No, acupuncture is not a medically approved expense by Medicare. You cannot claim acupuncture on Medicare because the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has classified it as an Alternative Therapy, and Medicare will not pay for Alternative Therapy. They only reimburse therapies that they feel have been proven effective by scientific standards.
