Important Changes to the Clinic and Boutique Starting February 1, 2023

acupuncture, Uncategorized

ACUPUNKTURE CLINIC CHANGES: PRICING, POLICY & STORE HOURS

Starting February 1, 2023, here is the current pricing for all appointments, which is a reflection of both the increased operating costs over the past few years as well as the ongoing expansion of knowledge and offerings:

Private Pay Patients:
Initial Consultation and Treatment: $135.00
Follow up Treatments: $110.00 

4 Pack Follow up Treatments: $400 (saves you $10 per treatment)

*If you are a current patient and wish to prepay for one package at the current rate of $360 per 4 pack ($90 per session) you may do so before February 1, 2023 and use this package moving forward to cover any future treatments.

Insurance Pay Patients: It is your responsibility to tell us if your insurance has changed.

Copays, Co-Insurance, and Deductibles are your responsibility and are due at the time of treatment. If your plan is subject to a deductible, you are responsible for the amount covered by your insurance per treatment until your deductible has been met. Generally, we will know the copay amount up front prior to your treatment but it may take up to 4 weeks to get an insurance Explanation of Payment (EOP) processed and know your exact coinsurance amount or deductible amount due per treatment. The coinsurance amount is a percentage of what is paid by insurance. The deductible amount is the full treatment rate paid by insurance which varies by insurance and is subject to our contracted rates. This deductible charge may be anywhere from $87-$120 depending on what your insurance covers. Until this amount is determined, we will hold a credit card on file and then contact you prior to charging you to let you know what is due when your EOP is returned by the insurance company.

Cancellation Policy: If a follow-up acupuncture appointment is not cancelled at least 24 hours in advance via text/phone call to 508-507-8015 or email to franklinacupunkture@gmail.com you will be charged the full rate of your missed session.

Late Cancellation/No-Show fee: $110 or 1 acupuncture session deducted from your package plan. Late Cancellation/No-Show fees will not be covered by your insurance company.

We understand that there are times when you must miss an appointment due to emergencies or obligations for work or family. However, when you do not call to cancel an appointment, you are preventing another patient from getting much needed treatment. Conversely, the situation may arise where another patient fails to cancel and we are unable to schedule you for a visit, due to a seemingly “full” appointment book.

In certain emergency situations or in light of COVID19 infection or illness, your late cancellation/no-show fee may be waived. It is at the sole discretion of the practitioner to decide if your missed appointment qualifies for a one-time waiving of the fee.

Other changes starting February 1st: The Boutique will no longer be open on Sundays.

Whimsical Wellness Boutique Hours:

Monday, Weds, Thursday, Friday 1-7pm

Saturdays 10-2pm

Closed Tuesdays and Sundays

Thank you for being a part of our Community of AcuPUNKs and we hope you have a safe and healthy 2023! If you have any questions about the above changes please contact the clinic directly.

PRIVATE TREATMENT ROOMS:

We are looking for like minded practitioners to rent in our space (massage, reiki, mental-health, nutrition, etc.) and can refer clients to you from our acupuncture clinic but we are open to other modalities.

We have 3 treatment rooms in total and all three come equipped with earthlite ellora tilt wide electronic tables. There is a sink for hand-washing on our floor and a bathroom on the first floor.

Our acupuncturist only uses two rooms Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and 2 saturdays per month and one treatment room is available every day of the week. All three rooms are open for renting tuesdays, fridays, sundays and every other saturday.

Rent is $12 a hour or $100 for the entire day and includes use of one room, the table and heat lamps. Electric/heat and internet are also included in the rental price. Tenant must have their own malpractice/liability insurance (we have our own) and sign a sublease. Ideally we are looking for someone to rent the room for the day weekly but we are open to all possibilities.

COMMUNITY EVENT/WORKSHOP SPACE:

We also have a small community event space (open room) available to rent that is perfect for small art or healing workshops, yoga, meditation circles etc.

The room is available for rent 7 days a week for $15 per hour or it can be rented for $100 for the full day. The space is 15’ x 19.5’

We have meditation pillows available for use and 5 thin folding tables if needed that can be moved but it’s basically an empty room with a mural on two walls done by local artists. Here are some pics!

If you are experiencing COVID related symptoms or think you may have been in contact with someone who has COVID- PLEASE CANCEL your session as soon as possible. There will not be a charge in this case, HOWEVER, you will be asked to produce a negative COVID test before returning for your next appointment and if this is not obtained your consecutive sessions will be cancelled until a negative test is produced OR 3 weeks have passed since your last symptom.

Thank you to all our amazing clients, we look forward to continuing to serve our JP community. Please stay safe and healthy!

Donations requested: Our friend Karrie needs help with medical travel!

Uncategorized

Read Karries’s Full story and Donate HERE

After a 3+ year long battle, Our good friend Karrie received word yesterday that she has FINALLY been accepted to be a patient  with DUKE and  is being expedited due to the severity and rare complications she is experiencing. She has been tentatively scheduled to travel November 29-December 4th. The current wait to be seen at Duke is 6 months to a year so this just gives you a tiny glimpse as to how severe her condition is- but if you have the time to read her full story, I’ve outlined it below.

Karrie has worked extra hard to jump through every insurance and beurocratic  hoop and has finally received word that insurance will cover her Out of network cost of treatment and copays which is amazing, however she still needs financial help for travel etc.

In order for her to go to Duke and get the procedures and extensive testing she needs, she will have to travel, arrive early due to Covid, stay close to the hospital for several days after the procedures and lie completely flat to give her body the best chance to heal. Her boyfriend , who will still need to work to continue to support their family and living expenses back home, will need to do so from the hotel will she undergoes treatment and testing.  

It was also advised she lie completely flat during her travel and will need a minimum of 8 weeks to recover where she will not be able to bend, lift or twist her spine in any way. 

We are working to try to find medical travel for her, hotel accommodations, and care for her dog. Any donations will go directly to helping fund Karrie’s trips back and forth as they suspect she will need to be seen at Duke multiple times in the upcoming months in addition to her care team here. I want to make sure that they can still pay rent and have a home to come back to once her surgeries and treatments are complete.

Thank you so much for reading this far. Please share this with your communities and if you are able to donate even a few dollars, any little bit helps.

Below is her entire story for those who have the time to read it ❤

Thank you so much
Crystal Meyers- Farnsworth, LAc., and Friend

AcuPUNKture is Back! New Protocols and changes announced:

Uncategorized

Good Morning Acu-Punks!!

We are happy to let you know that we are once again seeing clients for in-office appointments starting June 22nd and the Mind Body online schedule will be available for booking starting June 15th! The past couple months have been a tremendous upheaval for everyone and we look forward to being able to see you in person again.

Even as businesses begin reopening, COVID-19 remains a threat. To keep our patients and staff at minimum risk we will be changing our operations based on CDC and Massachusetts state guidelines and MA Department of Public Health reopening regulations. Below are some of the important changes we are making:

  • Telehealth appointments will be available on an as-needed basis for high-risk/elderly patients. If you are at high risk for complications from COVID-19 or require transportation that requires you to be at the office more than five minutes prior to/after your appointment time, in-office appointments are not recommended at this time. Please speak with staff prior to booking if you fall into any of these categories.
  •  Appointment availability will be limited and our hours/days open will be drastically changed. This is to prevent having too many people in the office at any one time. Re-opening guidelines state that we must operate at an extremely reduced capacity and prioritize high need patients. For this reason, we ask that you only book one appointment per week to allow for all patient’s to be able to get an appointment, unless you speak with Crystal and get approval in advance of booking.
  • Patients will be required to sign a waiver acknowledging COVID-19 risk before entering the clinic and receiving treatment.
  • We have removed our indoor waiting area and retail space. The tea station is closed, and crystal sales will remain on our Etsy shop indefinitely (we can bring crystals in for you if you would like to order any after browsing the online shop). We will continue to use crystals during treatment and sell CBD and essential oils in-office, during your appointment time only.
  • Please do not bring friends or family members to appointments. Only one client is allowed in the treatment room at all times. The only exception is if a child (18 years or younger) is receiving treatment; in this case one parent or legal guardian can be present in the room with them.
  • Upon arrival, patients will be required to wait outside and call the front desk. We now have a bench outside the office for seating. We ask that patients do not arrive more than 10 minutes before their appointment time.
  • Patients will be screened outside before appointments. This will include a questionnaire about potential COVID-19 symptoms and a temperature/smell test. The clinic reserves the right to and will turn away any client who has a temp, does not pass all screening questions or is unable to identify essential oils by smell.
  • Cancellation fees are temporarily waived; if you think you or anyone you have interacted with might have been exposed to COVID-19, please call and let us know so we can reschedule your appointment.
  • Patients are required to use hand sanitizer or wash their hands upon entering the building.
  • Patients and staff are required to wear masks at all timesThe one exception will be while using a face cradle, but masks must be put back on immediately afterwards. If you do not have a mask, let us know when booking your appointment and we will provide one for you before entering the building.
  • During treatment interaction between the practitioner and patient must be limited and the practitioner’s face mask and shield can not be removed, so we will not be giving moxa treatments or fire/sliding cupping. Stationary cupping will still be available but the practitioner will apply the cups and set a timer while standing outside the treatment room door. Patients will have a buzzer during the session so they can call the practitioner between check-ins if necessary. .
  • Treatment tables are no longer heated (this is due to the use of vinyl table coverings)Mylar blankets and heat lamps will be available for those that want them.

In addition to the above changes, we are complying with CDC Sanitization Guidelines by:

  • Disinfecting all high-touch areas after use, such as doorknobs, light switches, treatment tables, chairs, water dispenser handles and the bathroom.
  • Having practitioners change protective equipment between patients. Licensed Acupuncturists will wear face masks and a face shield as well as protective outerwear at all times.
  • Installing HEPA air filters in each treatment room and the front desk area.
  • Replacing fabric sheets with vinyl covers and table paper in treatment rooms.
  • Enforcing social distancing of at least 6 feet. Please be mindful of others while walking through the clinic.
  • Continuously screening staff for COVID-19 symptoms and implementing our exposure control plan and protocols as needed.
  • Installing no-touch trash bins, no-touch paper towel dispensers and hand sanitizer stations in the bathroom and throughout the clinic. There will also be locking plastic bins in each room for soiled reusable face masks to be stored for sanitizing at the end of the day.

*Keeping our patients safe and healthy is our top priority. We will be continuously reviewing and updating our policies and procedures based on guidance from the CDC and Massachusetts state guidelines. To stay up to date with this information please visit our website regularly and pay attention to signs throughout the office.

If you would like to schedule an appointment please click here. If you are unable to book online you can email us at bostonacupunkture@gmail.com or text the clinic line at 617-971-8623 with your desired availability and we will get back to you as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience as we work on safely reopening!

Looking forward to seeing you,

Crystal Meyers

Owner of AcuPUNKture

Introducing: Virtual Treatments with At Home Acu-kits!

acupuncture, acupuncture FAQ, acupuncture for common colds, acupuncture for digestive issues, acuPUNKture, acupunture, boston AcuPUNKture, bostonacupunkture, flu season, Uncategorized
Here at AcuPUNKture, we are planning ahead in case we are not able to safely re-open our doors to the public in 2 weeks due to the COVID-19 outbreak and current need for quarantine and social distancing.

 

Over the next couple of weeks we will be preparing for and piloting Virtual treatments  in which existing clients can book tele-treatments with us and enjoy a guided treatment from the comfort of their homes. During these sessions we will communicate via phone or video-chat while I guide you through the treatment. Prior to this appointment I will send out an “At home Acu-kit” to your home with all the essentials needed for 4+ treatments.

 

If you have acupuncture coverage through insurance, you will be able to utilize insurance with these treatments as I will be guiding you on insertion points for applying press-needles along with magnets, essential oils, salves, gua-sha for myofacial release and more. Out of pocket price for treatment will be $70 and includes your at home Acu-kit. All modalities of payment currently used at the office will be accepted including flex-spending and HMO accounts.

 

This is what Japanese acupuncture is all about- Using all of our modalities and “tricks in our tool box” to achieve powerful treatments when we can only do minimal needle insertions!

 

During your 60 minute tele-consult & treatment I will also be available to answer any self-care questions and recommend any nutritional or supplementation advice. For clients that already have an at home cupping set or wish to purchase an inexpensive set for guided at home application this is available also.

 

Each kit will be customized and may contain: 
-A Gua sha spoon for guided myofascial/muscle release
-Mini essential oil bottles filled with Snow Lotus Organic essential oils tailored to the client’s specific/usual needs- we can discuss prior to sending out
-15 Ibuki moxa (stick-on moxa)
-One 10 pack of 800 gaus reusable acu-magnets (able to continue to wear after session and reapply later)
-Two 12,000 gaus reusable magnets (very strong for use only during session)
-20 Pyonex press needles
-20 Ear Press balls with picture reference cards of applicable ear points
-Small Gemstones appropriate for each client (if desired)
-1 Therapeutic Organic Essential Oil infused Epsom Salt packet for soaking
-1 roll of micropore tape for taping magnets and crystals to acu-points

 

We realize this type of treatment may not work for everyone and that is totally okay! We also realize that even if we are able to reopen our doors to the general public- our severely immune-compromised clients maybe not be able to physically come in to the office for fear of catching COVID-19 and therefore they can utilize this type of treatment in the future.

 

If you are interested in this new venture please reach out to us at bostonacupunkture@gmail.com

 

This is going to be new for everyone, including us, and there will be some kinks to work out both via the booking website, getting your your acu-kit in a timely manor and connecting via online in a HIPPA-compliant way, but we look forward to this new journey with you and helping to continue care for our wonderful clients while promoting love, light and healing during this unknown, dark and scary time.

 

Clinic Temporary Closing- COVID-19 Pre-caution-

Uncategorized
*TEMPORARY CLOSING*
 
Dear clients,
With the recent news of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Outbreak and the need for social distancing as well as Boston public School systems closing to help stop this pandemic from spreading through our community, we feel it is our duty to close the clinic for at least 2 weeks to help keep our staff and clients safe from the possibility of unknown infection.

We will be closing our doors and cancelling all appointments starting Monday March 16th, 2020 through May 4, 2020 to comply with the most current medical recommendations by the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO)- which is to practice “extensive social distancing”. That is to say the best advice at this time is to stay home, within your family unit, and to eliminate all non-essential physical contact with others.

We will continue to closely monitor the CDC and WHO’s recommendations and will reassess the situation as more information comes to light. It is possible we will have to close for more than 2 weeks but in the meantime we will keep appointments on the books and take it day by day.

With that said we understand this is a VERY difficult thing to do and we know you rely on your weekly or monthly appointments with us for pain management, immune boosting, stress management and many other different health issues.

The population most at risk for complications from COVID-19 are those that are over the age of 60, those that are immune-compromised as well as those with underlying lung conditions, heart disease and diabetes. MANY of our clients fall into these categories. This virus is extremely contagious and is transmissible even when people are asymptomatic. Therefore, sick policies asking people to stay at home when they are ill are dangerously ineffective.

In light of this new information, we can not take any risk in compromising the health and well being of all of our patients. Greater social distancing NOW, before more people get sick, will significantly improve our community’s chances of stopping the spread of the virus and overwhelming our hospital with more patients then they can give proper care to.

Please understand that we are still here for you, sending you and your families positive healing energy during these very trying times and we will continue to keep you updated via our website and social media as new information emerges and changes to status of the clinic continue.

We hope that you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy during this very stressful time and we look forward to seeing and treating you again when we are able to re-open our doors in the future.

Update: COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Outbreak

acupuncture, Uncategorized

We wanted to take a moment to address the current coronavirus outbreak. We are currently taking all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the virus, including but not limited to frequent hand washing and disinfecting of surfaces in the office.

We are also asking that any patients who may have been exposed to the virus to STAY HOME until you have been tested. You may have been exposed if you:

– have traveled to China, South Korea, Japan, Iran, or Italy, or any of the 120 countries affected by the coronavirus in the last 30 days OR
– have recently had a fever greater than 100 degrees and/or
– cough, upset-stomach or respiratory (breathing) symptoms or
– have had had known contact with someone exposed to the coronavirus

If you may have been exposed and have an appointment scheduled for this week, give us a call at 617-971-8623 so we can reschedule your appointment.

Thank you for your cooperation in stopping the spread of the virus!

Stay safe and healthy,

The AcuPUNKture Team
