Please do not contact me in September and October. I will be out of the country, resuming office hours in November.

I check messages in the morning or after work in the evening.
I return calls/messages as soon as possible when I can.
I am looking into providing more services by providing group style acupuncture called "Community Acupuncture", simple acupuncture while sitting with others for a more affordable rate.
I also want to open more space in my work schedule with private patients. I will do this by providing acupuncture only treatments in another treatment room while I am treating another patient in my full service treatment room.
Office Location:
1207 N Virginia St
Silver City, NM
Appointments are 1 hour or 1 1/2 hour.
Payment:
Cash or Local check at time of treatment
Please call for more information
For those with Medicaid $75 cash for an hour
Insurance:
Dr. Cat is a Health Care Provider, called a "Specialist" for:
BCBS, Presbyterian, TriWest, UHC-depends on the plan, possibly but not probably other Health Insurance companies.
For those with insurance:
Since health insurance companies have made it very difficult to verify your benefits, I request that you provide written verification of your insurance info and acupuncture benefit.
Since I cannot know for what services I will be paid, & amount I will be paid, I ask you to pay my cash price for your treatment. After I am paid by your insurance, I will reimburse the amount that I owe you.
Generally, Medicare and Medicaid do not pay for acupuncture (even though they say they do). This is not my fault, but due to federal Medicare regulations. You can change this by supporting HB 3133, Acupuncture for Seniors Act.
