Coverage depends on practitioner status, consultation framework and the individual policy.
How do Assurance Maladie and private insurance differ?
Coverage depends on status and context. Private allowances vary widely.
Professional status matters
Assurance Maladie coverage may depend on whether a conventionné physician provides the consultation, the billing code and the care pathway. A non-physician appointment is generally not reimbursed on the same basis.
Private insurance
Some complementary insurers provide an annual allowance for selected practices. Contracts change, so ask whether acupuncture is included, which documents are required and which professionals qualify.
Before booking
Confirm the fee, exact professional status and receipt provided, then check directly with the insurer. A clinic website should not present reimbursement as certain for every patient.
