Dear Friends,
Did you know there is a White House Petition to designate 'Acupuncturist' as a recognized healthcare provider under the Social Security Act?
Despite overwhelming evidence of the positive impact acupuncturists have on patient health, they are not currently recognized as healthcare providers under the Social Security Act and, therefore, cannot be paid by Medicare for therapy management.
We have the power to change this!
Your signature is needed by February 10th. Here are some things you can to do help reach the goal of 25,000 signatures:
Sign the Petition! Click here to add your signature.
Ask your family, colleagues and patients to sign it. They all have a vested interest in seeing acupuncture included!
This will help start to get alternative therapies recognized by insurance companies for reimbursement.
Use social media, like Facebook and Twitter, to spread the word!
