> Insurance plans and managed care organizations are beginning to offer
> reimbursement for alternative treatments. In fact,
> coverage of chiropractic treatment is mandated by law in at least 45
> states, acupuncture in 7 states, and naturopathy in 2 states
> (16). Insurance plans which cover alternative health care often require
> physician referral for these services, highlighting the
> importance of physician awareness. One managed care company, Oxford Health
> Plans in Norwalk, Connecticut, is planning to
> cover alternative treatments, including some that use herbal remedies,
> basing their decision on a survey showing that 33% of its
> 1.5 million members had sought alternative treatment in the last two
years.
> American Western Life Insurance Company based
> in San Mateo, California, has a "prevention plus" plan that covers herbal
> medicines. Industry analysts expect many other
> insurance plans to follow suit to compete for this untapped multibillion
> dollar market (16). Although reimbursement for herbal
> medicines is in its infancy, it is expected to grow tremendously along
with
> the continued boom in sales of herbal products and
> alternative health care in general. In Germany, herbs prescribed by
> physicians are covered by insurance, whereas
> over-the-counter herbs are not; and German physicians are much more
> knowledgeable about their use (17). Physicians must
> become familiar with herbal medicine, as more insurance companies will
> expect their physicians to make referrals or suggest
> herbal products.
