GENERAL
Can I claim insurance for seeing Yi TCM?
It depends, good to check with your insurer if they cover TCM treatments, the criteria needed to treat, specific items that the insurer cover, the conditions they cover and the claim limits on your insurance.
Insurance claims for TCM require the clinic and it's physicians to be registered with the TCM Practioner's board. Yi TCM is a licensed TCM clinic registered with the TCM practitioner's board. Our TCM physicians are licensed too.
Why aren't there patient testimonials on the website?
