Claim types

Work injury or auto injury, one referral process

Work injuries (L&I)

We are an L&I provider. We confirm the claim, handle authorization and billing, and document to MARFS Chapter 19.

Auto injuries

We accept first party payers and verify coverage before the first visit. For other auto injury coverage, payment is required at time of service. Either way, you get documentation suited to the claim.

Conditions

The pain conditions we treat

Pain is the common thread, whether it started on the job or on the road. If you are unsure whether your patient's claim covers acupuncture, call us and we will check before you send anything.

Low back pain and strain

L&I covers low back strain. Functional recovery is tracked at intake and set intervals.

Headache and migraine

Chronic migraine is covered by L&I since the September 2024 expansion.

Neck and shoulder pain

Including whiplash type injuries. Pain and range of motion documented visit to visit.

Nerve-related injuries

Auto injuries with numbness and tingling or burning sensations.

What you get back

Documentation that holds up in a claim file

Every patient gets a concise treatment status letter in SOAP-ER format. No clinical shorthand you have to decode.

Validated outcome measures. ODI scores, so progress is measured and not just described.

Functional progress. What the patient can do now that they could not do at intake.

Clear next steps. Whether to continue, adjust, or discharge, and why.
