How to Use Kaiser + Holistic Care Together
Step 1: Confirm your plan includes ASH benefits. Step 2: Use Kaiser acupuncture/chiropractic as first line. Step 3: For specialized care, go out-of-pocket. Step 4: Use Kaiser for diagnosis; use private practitioner for treatment depth. Step 5: Ask for superbills for potential reimbursement.
