Acupuncture cost varies based on the style of acupuncture (community-based group treatments vs one-on-one treatments), location, and insurance.
A community-based acupuncture treatment may cost anywhere between $20-50/person. This is a cash-based system that doesn’t accept insurance and typically treats in a group setting with 6-20 people in a room at a time.
A one-on-one acupuncture treatment can cost between $75.00-$300.00 for a 45-minute to two hour treatment out of pocket.
In terms of location, expect a higher rate in big cities.
Insurance can be in-network or out-of-network. You get a better rate, staying in-network, but you can still get a percentage discount out-of-network.
Much of it depends on whether your insurance plan includes acupuncture benefits. If you have benefits, usually there is a standard deductible ($500) before your copay kicks in ($20-50) per treatment.
An FSA/HSA card can be used towards treatment. Also, the IRS recognizes acupuncture as a  medical expense that you can deduct from your gross income.
