YOU CAN HELP 

Medicare covers acupuncture, but does not cover Acupuncturists.
Help support H.R. 3133, The Acupuncture for Our Seniors Act, which would enable Medicare to cover acupuncturists 

Passage of this bill would: 

  Allow Licensed Acupuncturists to independently treat and bill Medicare for chronic low back pain (1)

  Influence insurance coverage of acupuncture by other insurance carriers 

YOUR ACTION COUNTS 

How you can help support this Bill: 

Contact your U.S. Representative: Simply text any of the phrases below to 52886. 

After sending your text, follow the generated link to a composed email and X message that you can send to your U.S. Representatives as is, or modify to provide additional information. 

“Acupuncture Patient” – Non-Medicare patients seeking support for H.R. 3133 “Senior Citizen” – Prospective and current patients of acupuncture who are Medicare beneficiaries 

“Acupuncture Ally” – Allies (non-acupuncture providers, family members of patients, patient advocacy groups, community members, etc.) of the acupuncture profession seeking support for H.R. 3133 

Example: If you’re a non-Medicare patient, type Acupuncture Patient and send to 52886. If you’re a Medicare beneficiary, type Senior Citizen and send it to 52886.
