| If you're looking for a complementary health practitioner—such as an acupuncturist or massage therapist—to help treat a medical problem, it's important to be careful and thorough in your search. Here are some tips to help: - Your health care provider may be able to give you names of practitioners in your area. A nearby hospital, a professional organization, or your health insurance provider may also be able to help you.
- Find out as much as you can about the practitioner, including education, training, licensing, and certifications. The credentials required for complementary health practitioners vary from state to state and discipline to discipline.
- Don't assume that your health insurance will cover the practitioner's services. Insurance plans differ greatly in what complementary approaches they cover. And even if they cover a particular approach, restrictions may apply. Get the details about your coverage from your health insurance provider.
