The proposed bill, S.F. No. 1560, introduced in the Minnesota Senate, mandates that health insurance plans cover acupuncture services for pain treatment and ongoing pain management. Acupuncture must be performed by a licensed practitioner. Insurance plans must allow for at least 30 acupuncture sessions before they can demand prior authorization for additional treatments. This bill aims to include acupuncture coverage specifically in the Minnesota Statutes under chapter 62Q.
