Does My Health Insurance Cover Acupuncture?

Some private health insurance and health cash plans in the UK provide cover towards the cost of acupuncture. However, cover varies considerably between insurers and individual policies, so it is important to check your own policy before booking treatment.

Depending on your policy, you may be able to claim towards the cost of acupuncture with providers such as:

  • Aviva

  • Bupa

  • General & Medical Healthcare

  • Health Shield

  • HSF Health Plan

  • Medicash

  • National Friendly

  • Simplyhealth

  • Vitality Health

  • Westfield Health

  • WHA Healthcare

  • WPA

This list is not exhaustive, and insurance providers regularly change their policy terms and benefits.

Some insurers may require a GP or specialist referral, while others allow self-referral. There may also be limits on the number of treatments or the amount you can claim, and some insurers require your acupuncturist to be registered with a recognised professional organisation.

Please check with your insurance provider before starting treatment to confirm that acupuncture is included in your particular policy, that you are eligible to claim, and whether any referral or pre-authorisation is required.

If you have private health insurance and would like to know whether your treatment may be covered, I am happy to provide any information you need for your insurer.
