It is an "alternative therapy" that has not been scientifically proven to be effective as an analgesic, anesthetic, or other therapeutic purposes, per the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Acupuncture expenses fall 100% on the shoulders of the patient receiving that procedure.Answered on September 13, 2013flag this answer
