The reimbursement discussion can only take place after it is made legal to practice complementary and alternative therapies. There is a great deal of evidence that the practice of natural therapies through health promotion as well as disease intervention is less costly and more cost effective. All complementary and alternative practices by all practitioners should be reimbursable through federal programs and other health care coverage systems. As consumers, we want to make the choice of what works for us. We believe creative and new ways at looking at reimbursement other than a false reading of educational standard needs to be looked at as to which practitioner's work is covered by insurance.
Old ways are for the old system.
New ways are for a new paradigm of healing. Avoucher system that could be bankable and transferable to those in need if you did not use them. Insurance coverage for more education on alternatives so that insurance only needed to cover catastrophic problems as people learn to practice a higher state of wellness. Education of the consumer puts them on a more equal basis with their professional and empowers them. Community health plans in which the people of a community decide what is offered in their health plan.
