Do you take health insurance?
We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO policies for acupuncture and physical therapy services only. We can check your insurance coverage as a courtesy but cannot guarantee payment by your insurance company on your behalf. We will submit claims on your behalf and collect the patient's responsibility for rendered services thereafter.
We follow a self-pay model for all services that are not covered by insurance and all services are HSA/FSA eligible. For patients with out-of-network plans or self-pay, we can provide statements for your reimbursement. Please contact us to inquire about pricing and packages.
Do I need a referral from a physician to be seen by a physical therapist?
A doctor’s referral or prescription for physical therapy is no longer required in the state of Illinois. You do not need a referral for acupuncture or massage therapy either.
What is the cancellation policy?
For all Ethos treatment services, we require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Patients who provide less than 24 hours notice or miss their appointment will be charged a cancellation fee to the card on file that is equal to the cost of your visit. Please contact us to reschedule, cancel, or discuss any questions/concerns.
What's included at an initial and return visit?
An initial visit will include time for discussion and assessment, as well as treatment. Return visits include time for re-assessment of the patient's response to treatment and continued care.
How long is an appointment?
For acupuncture, new patients can expect their initial visit to be 90 minutes, and return visits will be 60 minutes. For physical therapy, visits will be 60 minutes. Massage visits vary from 60-80 minutes.
What to wear and how to prepare?
It is ideal to wear loose-fitting and comfortable clothing, so bring a change of clothes, if need be. Please be sure to have eaten something earlier in the day. Street parking may be found on all surrounding blocks. Our reception team will greet you at the front desk upon arrival. See you soon!
What is acupuncture and what does it help with?
Acupuncture utilizes small needles to direct blood flow and awareness, restoring balance across the body and supporting its natural regulatory systems. Benefits can include pain relief, stress relief, a more balanced nervous system and regulated hormones, bolstered immune responses, less inflammation, and more. It is just one modality within the larger paradigm of East Asian medicine. See our Treatment page for more information.
What is sports acupuncture?
Sports acupuncture is a specialty that addresses sports injury, musculoskeletal concerns and pain, improves recovery, as well as enhances sports performance. See our Treatment page for more information.
Do we offer dry needling?
We do! Our licensed acupuncturists offer dry needling with a gentler needle technique and greater skill than most dry needle certified practitioners. More experience with needling, greater understanding of tissue health, and education in the philosophical foundations from which needling originated all lead to a better patient experience overall.
