Acupuncture for Our Seniors Act of 2025

The Acupuncture for Our Seniors Act of 2025 proposes to add acupuncture services to Medicare coverage. Currently, Medicare has limited coverage for acupuncture. If enacted, this bill would allow seniors on Medicare to access acupuncture treatments provided by licensed acupuncturists as well as physicians who are authorized to provide acupuncture under state law.

For seniors, this could mean expanded access to acupuncture as a treatment option, potentially at a lower out-of-pocket cost since Medicare would help cover the services. This may be particularly relevant for older adults seeking alternative or complementary treatments for chronic pain and other conditions. The bill is currently in the committee review stage and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
