What to Expect: Care Process, Cost, and Location
Care at Wander Well Acupuncture is collaborative, individualized, and rooted in East Asian medicine. This offers an overview of how we work together, including session options, fees, and payment, so you can decide whether this approach feels supportive for you.
Location
Located halfway between Lexington Center and I-95/128, Wander Well Acupuncture is tucked away in an office building off of Bedford St. It is also adjacent to the Minuteman Bike Path.
The building has ample parking in the rear.
When arriving by car, look for a small road in between 238 Bedford St and 240 Bedford St. Pull down this driveway and our building is on the left. The ramp at the back of the building will take you to the door. Follow the signs for Wander Well Acupuncture and Suite 1.
-
You will be invited to complete a comprehensive online intake prior to your appointment. This helps ensure our in-person time is focused on care.
-
All appointments are scheduled as private sessions.
Standard acupuncture visits may include acupuncture along with supportive therapies such as cupping, moxibustion, gua sha, or red light therapy, based on your needs that day. Needles are placed and you are then given time to rest quietly in the room.
For Integrated Sessions, which may include acupuncture, bodywork, energy work, and supportive therapies, I remain in the room throughout the session.
Session lengths are 60, 90, or 120 minutes, depending on the service selected.
-
Your initial follow up visit includes a personalized East Asian medicine care plan that may evolve over time. Recommendations may include diagnostic insight, supplements, and diet and lifestyle guidance, and are shaped collaboratively based on your response to care.
-
Recommendations around frequency and duration of care are discussed together and adjusted as your needs change. For cycle regulation or chronic conditions, weekly visits are suggested.
Payment and reimbursement
Wander Well Acupuncture is a private pay practice. Insurance is not billed directly.
Some insurance plans offer out-of-network reimbursement for acupuncture services. When applicable, a superbill is available upon request for you to submit to your insurance provider. Reimbursement depends on your individual plan and is not guaranteed.
HSA and FSA
Many patients choose to use HSA or FSA funds for acupuncture services. Please check with your plan administrator to confirm eligibility.
Appointment Types & Cost
Your care begins with an online intake completed prior to your in-person visit. This allows us to review your history and prepare for treatment. This service is often not reimbursed by insurance.
*If you are seeking care exclusively for pregnancy-related concerns, you may begin with an in-person appointment and do not need an online intake.
Follow up visits include treatment and a personalized East Asian medicine care plan. Depending on your needs, this may include:
East Asian medicine diagnosis
Supplement recommendations
Diet and lifestyle guidance to support your individual pattern
Integrated Sessions
A personalized session that may include acupuncture, bodywork, and energy work. During Integrated Sessions, I remain in the room for the duration of your appointment.
Pregnancy Acupuncture Sessions
New patients seeking care exclusively for pregnancy-related concerns may begin here without completing a separate virtual intake. Care is individualized to your stage of pregnancy, symptoms, and goals, with plenty of time for questions and support along the way.
