More about Jean Donati, LAc

Prior to receiving a Masters degree in Acupuncture from the Maryland University of Integrative Health (formerly the Traditional Acupuncture Institute) in Columbia, Maryland in 2000, I was working as a Physician Assistant. I had graduated from Essex Community college with a Physician Assistant Certificate in 1992 and worked primarily in an outpatient setting seeing patients with a wide variety of illnesses. I enjoyed my work and loved the connection that I had with my patients. Long hours of work re-aggravated a back injury sustained in a car accident years before. I was seen by many physicians and specialists. The usual tests and therapies were completed, yet no treatment or therapy seemed to relieve my symptoms. One of my friends suggested acupuncture, and as a last ditch effort, I decided to give it a try. I have to say that acupuncture completely changed my life. With regular visits, my back pain resolved within 6 months. For the first time in years I was pain free. However, other aspects of my life changed as well. I was happier and less stressed. My friends and family noticed how much more relaxed and easy going I had become. To this day, I continue to use acupuncture to maintain my health and well being. Back to that first life changing acupuncture visit and why we are here now at East to West Medicine. During the visit, we talked about my injury, the pain, and its effect on my life. We also discussed my life, my career, and where I saw myself in the future. My pain and injury were significant, and so were the other aspects of my life. Each aspect affected the other. My acupuncturist was interested in treating all of me: body, mind, and spirit. I felt cared for and tended. It was during this visit, that I realized that something was missing in the way I practiced medicine as a physician assistant. What was missing was the human holistic approach. I wanted my patients to experience the care and tending that I received during my acupuncture treatments. I wanted to be able to treat the whole person, not just symptoms. This is an exciting time for me as I relaunch my full time acupuncture practice. My current approach to health care is holistic, emphasizing the patient’s overall well being. I recognize that many factors affect health, including exercise, diet, rest, environment and heredity. I practice whole-person health care with the vision to see the human body as much more than the sum of its parts. I see my clients as more than people coming to my office with a set of symptoms. My vision encompasses the entire individual in all of his or her unique complexity, and I work in partnership with my clients to ensure optimal health and wellness in all facets of their lives. Acupuncture focuses on maintaining optimal health naturally so that the body is better able to resist disease. Through identifying the root cause of your symptom or illness and then addressing the imbalance in a way that works naturally with your body, acupuncture seeks to restore optimum health so the body’s natural healing mechanisms can take over. I would love to be your guide, working in partnership, as you take back your health and life. Schedule an appointment today! Wishing you health in body, mind, and spirit. About Insurance.... Many insurance companies including Medicare cover some or all of the cost of Acupuncture treatments? Each insurance company is different. Here are some questions to ask prior to your treatment: Do you cover Acupuncture? For what conditions? What is my deductible? How many sessions are covered? Is a referral needed? I provide all the information you need in order for you to submit the claim to your insurance company. I do not bill insurance directly. You provide payment upfront, and I give you a “superbill” with the ICD10 codes and CPT codes needed for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. I accept cash, check and credit card payments. Medicare and Acupuncture…New for 2021 According to Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers up to 12 acupuncture visits in 90 days for chronic low back pain. Medicare covers an additional 8 sessions if you show improvement. If your doctor decides your chronic low back pain isn’t improving or is getting worse, then Medicare won’t cover your treatments. No more than 20 acupuncture treatments can be given yearly. Acupuncture must be provided by a physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner with a Masters Degree in Acupuncture who is licensed to practice acupuncture. I meet all of the requirements set forth by Medicare. Per online chat with Medicare.gov on 8/287/21…A referral from your physician is not necessary for Medicare to cover acupuncture. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
