- Initial, 30-minute consultations are free.
- The cost for a first visit, which can last up to 90 minutes, is $120.
- Follow-up visits, which last about 60 minutes, cost $90.

FSA and HSA accounts typically cover acupuncture treatment.
We are in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield Illinois PPO insurance plans. Please contact us to learn if your BCBSIL plan covers acupuncture treatment. If so, you may have a copay due at the time of your treatment.
If your insurance plan does not cover insurance, we can provide you with a detailed “superbill” to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Full payment is due at the time of service.
24-Hour Cancellation Policy
If you cannot make it to your appointment, please provide ample notice so that your time slot can be filled by someone else. Appointments canceled within 24 hours of the appointment and no-shows will be billed the full appointment fee.
Important COVID-19 Update
Heil Health and Wellness continues to take COVID-19 infection seriously, especially for our immunocompromised patients. In addition to routine cleaning procedures, we are happy to wear masks if/when patients request that precaution.
Additional information regarding COVID-19 precautions is sent to patients prior to their appointments. Please follow our guidelines so that the clinic remains safe for everyone.
Veterans
Military veterans have access to acupuncture treatment through their VA medical benefits. Acupuncture treatment may be offered at the local VA hospital or clinic. Many times the VA refers veterans to private acupuncturists through the Community Care Network.
Veterans who are referred to private acupuncturists do not pay for their treatments. The VA covers appointment fees and may even reimburse for travel expenses.
Thom has been active with the Community Care Network since 2018. He currently treats veteran patients in his Bluebird Wellness location (3817 N. Pulaski Rd.).
Acupuncture can be a great relief to veterans suffering from service-connected injuries and pain. It can also help reduce stress and tension for veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
