Does anyone know anything about reimbursement from Medicare for Cupping therapy? I have an acupuncturist asking for authorization for this type of therapy, but I am finding very little information. Is this an accepted form of treatment? I code for worker's comp and we follow Medicare guidelines.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure about medicare however, we bill cupping to workers comp & mva's and it is usually covered. We use cpt code 97016.
Hope that helps.
