Upcoming Changes for 2025

As of 1/1/2025:

  1. We ask that all current and existing patients to re-submit your insurance information if your member ID or health plan has changed. https://www.boxacupuncture.com/verification

  2. The front desk will re-verify your benefits and have you sign a new 2025 Insurance Verification form going over any changes or if your plan stays the same. As a reminder,eligibility and quotation of benefits is NOT a guarantee of payment or coverage, your health plan/insurer determines eligibility, not us; all patients using their health insurance risk needing to cover the full cost of treatment if your health insurance does not approve or reimburse our clinic and providers properly.

  3. We have added 2 additional services - Fertility & Women’s Health Acupuncture with Dr. Gahwi You as well as TCM Lifestyle Consultations with Dr. Eric Sun, Dr. Jessica Brophy, or Dr. Kevin Tai

    1. Fertility & Women’s Health Acupuncture with Dr. Gahwi You - Dr. Gahwi is well versed in helping Women balance hormones during pre-peri-post menopause in addition to helping with infertility. Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine are powerful therapies that help improve success with IVF or natural conception. Please refer to the updated pricing sheet for this service. This is a non-insurance covered service.

    2. TCM Lifestyle Consultations - These three providers are well versed in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) lifestyle modification through diet, meditation, breathing techniques, and general lifestyle advice through the scope and wisdom of TCM. This service is great for those looking to gain insight into their health and making lasting changes that will benefit them in the long run. Whether it be helping to lose weight, improve digestion, or with the supervision of your PCP, reducing the use of pharmaceuticals.

      Please refer to the updated pricing sheet for this service. This is a non-insurance covered service.

  4. Well Received Call Service Modification - we are not longer using their assistance when answering calls as we felt unfortunately they were unable to help direct patients properly. Instead all calls will be back to our live-in person staff during normal business hours. As a reminder, please leave a voicemail and we will get back to you within 24-48 hours or same day if we are on the other line. Alternatively, please email info@boxacupuncture.com, as we will all receive these emails if something comes up.

  5. Tipping option when checking out - we recently added this option, but it is ONLY when paying out of pocket for Therapeutic Massage Therapy; 100% of tips go towards your massage therapist. Please disregard for all other services, co-pays, products, etc.

  6. Dr. Gahwi Schedule Change & Dr. Brophy Location Change - Dr. Gahwi’s availability is now Wednesday and Fridays 10AM-5PM and Saturdays 9AM-3PM. She is no longer practicing on Thursdays. As a result, Dr. Brophy will now be in our main clinic downstairs on Thursdays in Suite 109. When booking and receiving email reminders, please keep track of the location, but this change will be active for the foreseeable future and we will definitely update everyone if anything changes.

  7. New Active Texting Number at Box Acupuncture - (209) 340-2761; we have added a texting line that is shared among all providers and staff at Box Acupuncture, so if there are any direct questions or if we need to confirm your appointment, this is a dedicated number that will allow you to text our office. This number is HIPAA compliant.
