Summary
H.R. 747, the Federal Acupuncture Coverage Act of 2001, proposed to expand health insurance benefits to include services provided by licensed acupuncturists. If enacted, the bill would have required Medicare Part B and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program to cover acupuncture treatments, making these services more affordable for seniors and federal workers. This change would have allowed eligible citizens to access alternative pain management and wellness care with the same insurance support as traditional medical procedures.
