The usual coverage for an alternative therapy is a discount offered by the
health insurance providers instead of full coverage. The policy holder pays a
lower billing amount (than would be charged to a non- alternative therapy
holding patient) instead of filing for reimbursement.
Who Should Get Alternative Therapy Insurance?
In the United States,
$33 billion is spent annually on complementary and alternative medicine, which
makes it the most quickly expanding division of the health care industry.
However, even with studies showing how alternative therapies lower health care
costs, some companies still don’t offer alternative therapy coverage. Anyone
who can find supplemental alternative therapy insurance (if their regular
coverage isn’t comprehensive) will benefit in saved health care costs in the
long run.
