Alternative Medicine Insurance Available

If you're choosing alternative health treatments more frequently over conventional medicine, you might consider looking into Alternative Health Insurance Services.

A spokesman says the group's goal is to provide plans that give patients the "freedom of choice" when it comes to deciding between traditional and alternative treatments. The group offers coverage for acupuncture, homeopathy, massage therapy, biofeedback and other alternative treatments.

All plans require a deductible, but cover services of any licensed medical doctor, surgeon, naturopathic and homeopathic doctor, as well as inpatient hospital care and prescriptions, the health plan summary states. The plan's comprehensive major medical coverage includes X-rays and lab tests, prescriptions and mental health benefits.

Those covered by The Alternative Health Plan are covered for hospital stays, visits to a doctor of their choice, conventional and alternative medicines, holistic healthcare, preventive care and herbal remedies. The Alternative and Complementary plan covers acupuncture, nutritional counseling and authorized Transcendental Meditation programs for those diagnosed with hypertension or an addiction.
