New Year, New Online Booking
On January 1st, Healing Foundations rolled out a new online booking service. When you book your next session online, you'll notice a different interface, along with new options on selecting the treatment and practitioner you'd like to see. If you've found your service and practitioner– but not appointment time you really want– look for a new feature: the "Add yourself to the wait list" link at the bottom of the booking screen; we'll contact you should your desired appointment time become available!
Update Your Data for Your Best Care
After booking your treatment online, you'll be directed to a Thank You for Booking page. At the bottom you'll see a link in blue; "View my account." Do we have your correct and current information? We rely on the best phone number and email address to reach you, and having complete information helps us to serve your wellness better– including your current medications, plus updates or changes in health status. Please take time to provide this crucial information and be assured, your online records are confidential, secure, and HIPAA compliant.
Insurance Assurance
Did your health insurance begin or renew on January 1? Are you sure your coverage is the same (or different)? To verify your benefits for acupuncture coverage, please visit Healing Foundations' private link to Holistic Billing Services. Every insurance claim Healing Foundation makes or hopes to make, begins with this process. Once you've completed the secure online form you'll receive a confirmation email, and Healing Foundations will receive a notification of your applicable benefits. After receiving your benefit summary, we'll contact you to discuss the options and next steps. Couldn't be easier!
Quick-link buttons for both Online Booking and Insurance Verification can be found on the Healing Foundations website homepage.
Treatments for Performance
You may recall the excitement created over cupping during the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. Michael Phelps and other swimmers sported their telltale cupping marks poolside, creating quite a stir. We talked about it in a blog post at the time, and Rebecca was even interviewed by the Chicago Tribune for their story on the "viral" sensation.
A few weeks ago the U.S. Figure Skating Championships were held, determining who'll be representing our country at the XXIII Olympic Winter Games. The event's third place finisher in the women's competition (and 2017 national champion) was 18 year old Karen Chen, who'd spent the prior day sick in bed. Every published story about the January 6th event mentions Chen's visit to her acupuncturist to ready her for the once-in-a-lifetime competition, and many stories covering Chen in the run-up to the championship include her reliance on a combination of acupuncture and Western medicine to keep her in competitive form.
The Winter Games begin February 9, and we'll be keeping an eye out for all media mentions of acupuncture and other therapies that we know elite athletes rely on, and hope you will too...but remember: the practitioners at Healing Foundations are here to help you regain and maintain your optimal physical and emotional health, whether you're training for a singular moment in time– or your best life over the long haul. Go Team USA, and Go You!
