New Patient Information
Welcome to my Acupuncture Practice, Live Well Medicine. Please take a few minutes to read through the following topics that will help to prepare you for your first visit. Also, make sure you print and fill out the appropriate medical forms and bring them with you to the visit. If you have any questions or concerns, we can discuss them at the beginning of your first appointment or you can call the office.

Appointments
If possible, please take the time to schedule your appointments in advance. This will ensure that you receive and retain the time slot that is best for your schedule. If you need to make changes to an already scheduled appointment, please do so as soon as possible. Remember, it is your responsibility to cancel any unwanted appointments. If you are unsure of your appointment, please call the office.

Cancellation Policy
We require at least 24 hours notice to cancel an appointment. If you have missed or rescheduled an appointment with less than 24 hours notice, you will be responsible for the entire office visit fee. Our cancellation policy is waived for emergencies and acts of nature. We run a very tight schedule, so if you find that you are running late, please give the office a call to avoid making an unnecessary trip. We will, however, do our best accommodate your circumstances.

Payment and Insurance
We accept cash, personal checks, Visa and MasterCard. We ask that you pay at the time of your visit. We will bill your insurance company if you are an insurance client (pertains to Maryland clients). In Pennsylvania, acupuncture is generally not covered by insurance, but we are always willing to check your coverage before your visit to see if you policy is an exception.

Needles
This office uses sterile, disposable needles.

The Day Of Your Visit
Please make sure you do not eat or drink anything that will stain your tongue for at least an hour before arrival, as we need to examine your tongue. You will be most comfortable if you wear loose, clothing, as acupuncture involves palpation and treatment of various parts of the body. Draping will be provided to ensure modesty. Please refrain from wearing excessive jewelry, as some metals may interfere with the efficacy of the therapy. Also, please refrain from wearing perfume, strongly scented oils and/or lotions on the day of your visit.
