Information for Patients

For new and returning patients please check the information below

General Information

  • Please wear loose and comfortable clothing with sleeves and pant legs that roll up at least to the elbows and knees.

​

  • Depending on the exact nature of your condition, we may see results immediately, or it could take several sessions before any tangible results appear. Many acute injuries will see results quickly, but other, more chronic conditions may take longer.  

​​

Insurance

  • Currently an in-network provider with Aetna. (click here to read Aetna's policy on acupuncture)

  • Still in the process of becoming in-network with Anthem.

    • ​(We will keep the site updated with more information as the process moves forward.)

​

  • Mainecare: Does not cover acupuncture or massage therapies.

 

  • Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers up to 12 acupuncture visits in 90 days for chronic low back pain, however, there are restrictions that make it very difficult for treatments performed by a licensed acupuncturist to be covered. 

    • ​Medicare covers an additional 8 sessions if you show improvement. If your doctor decides your chronic low back pain isn’t improving or is getting worse, then Medicare won't cover your treatments. No more than 20 acupuncture treatments can be given yearly.

 

  • All other Insurance: We can provide you with a SUPERBILL at the end of each month that you can use to apply for reimbursement from your insurance provider.

Cancellation Policy

At Little Dragon Integrative Medicine, we understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and plans may need to be adjusted. We strive to accommodate our patients' needs while also ensuring the efficient functioning of our practice.

​

As a courtesy, an appointment reminder call, text and email are attempted 2 business days prior to your scheduled appointment. However, it is the responsibility of the patient to arrive for their appointment on the scheduled date and time. If you do not receive a reminder call or message, the following policy will remain in effect.

​

  • First Missed Appointment:

    • The first missed appointment is on us. Life happens, and we want to provide flexibility for unexpected situations.

  • Late Cancellations/No-Shows:

    • A cancellation is considered late when the appointment is canceled less than 24 hours before the appointed time.

    • A no-show is when a patient misses an appointment without canceling.

    • In either case, we will charge the patient a 50% missed appointment fee after the first late cancellation or missed appointment.

  • New Patients' First Appointments:

    • Any new patient who fails to show for their initial visit may not be rescheduled.

  • How to Cancel Your Appointment:

    • If you need to cancel your appointment, please call us at 207-531-5346 or email us at contact@littledragonmed.com.

    • If necessary, you may leave a detailed voicemail message. We will return your call as soon as possible.

​

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with our cancellation policy. These guidelines help us maintain the quality of service for all our patients. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
