Chi Center

Payment/Insurance

Payment is made at the time of your visit. We accept personal checks, debit cards, credit cards (Visa or Mastercard), or cash. At the end of each visit, we will provide you with a “superbill” charge sheet to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. If your insurance provides coverage for acupuncture, chiropractic, naturopathic medicine or massage but requires a physician referral, Dr. Abrams would be happy to do a brief assessment (a 30 minute visit) and refer you to other providers as is appropriate.

NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

Dr. Aimée Gould Shunney, ND

Insurance companies in California do not generally reimburse for naturopathic services at this time. We do encourage you to still submit a "superbill" (given to you at the end of your visit) as we expect this to change over time.

IF YOU ARE A PATIENT OF DR. ABRAMS, your visits with Dr Shunney can be submitted to insurance as a visit with Dr. Abrams. This will allow those patients with medical insurance (other than Medicare, Medi-cal or HMO's) to get the same reimbursement rates for Dr. Shunney as they would with any non-preferred provider.

IF YOU ARE NOT A PATIENT OF DR. ABRAMS, your visits with Dr. Shunney are less likely to be covered by insurance. To take advantage of non-preferred provider reimbursement rates, Dr. Abrams is offering a special new patient visit rate of $125 to Dr. Shunney's patients.

"SCIMCC is the real deal!  They are very serious about quality - the quality of their practioners and services, their new and modern facilities, and the personal touch.  It is all the little details - for example, the email reminders for appointments, or the readily available visiting cards for all their practioners, or that everyone knows my name - that is the first hint that this is not by chance, but rather by design.  SCIMCC is an authentic and first-class manifestation of its owners' healing vision!"
