FAQs

Do you have online scheduling?

Unfortunately, we don't. The main reason is that we keep things real simple in order to keep our rates as an affordable option for the community. Plus our space set up is kind of unique with two massage tables and three really comfy reclining chairs. So we actually need to talk to you to find out what you need help with to decide which will work best. So give us a call and we'll see what's available that can work for your schedule!

what I wish? Really? You won't just use fewer needles if I

Yes, you really can pay what you can afford. Our scale is from $30-55 per treatment. We welcome local residents and visitors on vacation to Hawai'i to use this system as they need. We won't look at you in a funny way or demand income statements as proof, or even do "less" of a treatment. There are many options for acupuncture in Hawai'i, but there was a gap that we felt we could fill by offering flexibility to our community. If we appreciate flexibility it just seemed logical that we could extend the same to you. So we do what we can, in as many ways as we can, as often as we can (through extended hours), for as many people as we can. And through it all we leave your financial needs up to you to decide.

Do you accept insurance at Kama'aina Acupuncture?

Unfortunately we don't do any insurance billing for a few reasons. We are a small clinic and don't have a reception staff. Though there are various acupuncture students who may help us out from time to time we keep things simple. That means that we spend our time focused on patient treatments and not on paperwork. This also means that we can keep our sliding scale payments affordable. If we were to have someone spend the extended time to do billing paperwork, then we'd have to have a significant payroll that naturally would mean increasing our fees.
