Acupuncture with Hill Physicians Medical Group – How to Get Covered at Pang Acupuncture
If you’re a Hill Physicians Medical Group member looking for quality acupuncture in the South San Francisco area, we’re happy to share that Pang Acupuncture is in-network with Hill Physicians Medical Group. That means your treatments may be covered — but there are a few steps you’ll need to take to get your sessions approved and scheduled quickly.
(Please note: we are unable to take patients with Medicare Hill plans.)
How Hill Physicians Medical Group Acupuncture Coverage Works
Hill Physicians typically requires that your primary care doctor (or the specialist managing your care) submit a request for acupuncture on your behalf. The request is reviewed by Hill Physicians, and if approved, the authorization is mailed directly to our office.
Here’s the basic process:
Talk to Your Doctor – Let them know you’d like to try acupuncture for your condition.
Doctor Submits the Request – They send the acupuncture request to Hill Physicians for review.
Hill Physicians Medical Group Approves the Request – Approval is sent to us by mail, and we’ll contact you to schedule.
While this process is straightforward in theory, doctor’s offices are often busy. Requests can sometimes get delayed if no one follows up — which is why it’s important for you to check in and confirm that your request has actually been sent.
How to Speed Up Your Hill Physicians Acupuncture Approval
If you want to make sure nothing gets lost in the shuffle, here’s exactly what to ask your doctor to include in their request:
One initial exam – CPT code 99213
12 acupuncture sessions, each including:
97813 × 1
97814 × 2
97026 × 1 (heat therapy)
That’s a total of 4 codes per session. This ensures Hill Physicians has all the necessary details to approve your treatments.
Sending the Referral Directly to Us
If your doctor’s office or you already have the Hill Physicians approval in hand, you can send it directly to our office to save time.
Fax number: 650-887-1225
Once we receive the referral, we can get you scheduled without delay.
