As we know, OHP/Medicaid does not cover emotional/mental health acupuncture care — it only covers Neck and Low Back Pain. We have a rare opportunity to change this — but we need testimonials!!!
We know that there are many scientific studies that show that regular acupuncture reduces symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
These studies have been presented to Oregon’s Medical Board and they are considering extending coverage to Depression specifically for those on OHP.
But only — if they hear enough testimonials (from patients and practitioners alike) to convince them.
