Acupuncture is NOT a substitute for conventional medical diagnosis and treatment. Techniques commonly employed in the application of acupuncture:

Acupuncture needling – treatment will consist of the insertion of sterile disposable needles at specific sites on the body. Stimulation of said needles may be by manipulation, electrical stimulation or the application of warming substances (moxa) on the needle itself.
Auxiliary / Associated therapies – massage, assisted stretching, topical application of liniments.

There is no guarantee that acupuncture will help any condition. Certain medications and social habits may decrease the beneficial eï¬€ects of acupuncture. These include the use and abuse of alcohol, tobacco, steroids, painkillers, narcotics, stimulants, antidepressants, psychopharmaceuticals and illegal drugs.

I, , certify that I have read and understood the statements above. I also certify that I have informed my acupuncturist of all known physical, mental and medical conditions and medications, and I will keep her updated on any changes.

Payment and Refund Policy

Payments can be made by Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover, check or cash. Make checks payable to Acupuncture Remedies, P.C.. Full payment is expected at the time the services are rendered. There are no refunds for unused package sessions. All sales are final.

Explanation of Insurance Coverage

Many insurance policies do cover acupuncture care but this office makes no representation that yours does. Insurance policies may vary greatly in terms of deductible and percentage of coverage for acupuncture care. Because of the variance from one insurance policy to another, we require that you, the patient, be personally responsible for the payment of your deductibles, as well as any unpaid balances in this oïffice. We will do our best to verify your insurance coverage, and will bill your insurance in a timely manner.

If you must cancel your appointment, please notify us as soon as possible. In order to uphold our high standard of care, we must adhere to a standard 24-hour cancellation policy. Please note: existing patients will be docked one session or charged $100 for less than 24-hours cancellation and/or a no-show.

One's insurance cannot or will not be charged in lieu of a missed appointment. Patient will assume full responsibility for the missed appointment or late cancellation.

I, , certify that I have read and understood the statements above and agree to abide by them.

These circumstances include the following: (1) you do not think that the personal data we hold about you is accurate; (2) your data is being processed unlawfully, but you do not want your data to be erased; (3) it is no longer necessary for us to hold your personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you still require that personal data in relation to a legal claim; and/or (4)you have objected to processing, and are waiting for that objection to be verified. Where processing has been restricted for one of these reasons, we may continue to store your personal data. However, we will only process it for other reasons: with your consent; in relation to a legal claim; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.

5.9. Your right to object to processing. You can object to us processing your personal data where our legal basis for the processing is that it is necessary for: the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party. If you make an objection, we will stop processing your personal information unless we are able to: demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing, and that these legitimate grounds override your interests, rights and freedoms; or the processing is in relation to a legal claim.

When a data request is made of us we will make available all applicable personal data to you in a computer readable format and will transmit your personal data to the appropriate third party pursuant to your instruction. We will not process your data in this way if we believe that it may pose a threat to the security of the data.

5.14. Complaints to a supervisory authority pursuant to the GDPR. If you think that our processing of your personal data infringes data protection laws, you can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. You may do this in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. This provision is only applicable if you are subject to the protections of the GDPR.

6. Links To Other Websites. Except as otherwise discussed in this privacy policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. Other websites accessible through our website have their own privacy policies and data collection, use, and disclosure practices. Please consult each website’s privacy policy. We are not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties, including any third-party site or other products and services used in connection with WaiverKing’s services. The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates.

We are not responsible for the collection, usage and disclosure policies and practices (including the data security practices) of other organizations, such as, Apple, Google, Microsoft, or any other operating system provider, wireless service provider or device manufacturer, including any personal data you disclose to other organizations through or in connection with WaiverKing’s services.

7. Security of Your Information. The security of personal data is a high priority at WaiverKing. We seek to use reasonable technical, administrative and physical safeguards to protect personal data within our organization. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal data, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through the website cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.

8. IP Addresses and Cookies. Cookies are very small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit some websites.

We use cookies to help identify your computer, including where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration so we can keep your activity secure, tailor your user experience and remember your preferences. This is statistical data and does not identify any individual. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our website may not work properly.

9. Your California Privacy Rights: Notice to California Customers and Opt-Out Information. Residents of the State of California, under certain provisions of the California Civil Code, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed certain personal data, as defined under California law, during the preceding year for third party direct marketing purposes. You are limited to one request per calendar year. In your request, you must supply appropriate evidence of your identity and attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for our response. You may request the information by writing to privacy@waiverking.com

Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. California residents are entitled to know how WaiverKing, Inc. responds to “Do Not Track” signals. How browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform, so a standard technological response has not yet been developed by the appropriate technology communities. For this reason, we do not respond to Do Not Track signals currently. To opt out of direct advertising on our website, please send a request to the address above. The effect of an opt-out will be to stop direct advertising, but it will still allow the collection of usage data for certain purposes (e.g., research, analytics, and internal online services operation purposes).
