What we do

Our Goal & Mission: AOAIPA actively collaborates with various health insurance companies in New York State to include more acupuncture treatments under insurance coverage. We aim to enhance the status of acupuncturists in the healthcare industry and increase insurance reimbursement rates.

AOAIPA provides members with education and training, regularly organizing seminars, workshops, and continuing education courses. Additionally, we offer legal consultations, career development guidance, and a resource-sharing platform to support our members' professional growth.

With a strong professional administrative team and extensive medical insurance connections, AOAIPA is committed to helping licensed acupuncturists gain more opportunities and higher professional recognition. We assist our members in becoming in-network special contract acupuncturists with health insurance companies, enjoying better reimbursement rates than the market standard.
