TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE CLINIC TO OPEN AT HUMBER

Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning is partnering with the Tzu Chi Foundation Canada in support of the college’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (TCM) program.

The partnership will provide entrance and ongoing scholarships for students in the TCM program and will fund the building and operation of an on-campus Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic in space provided by Humber. The clinic will serve the community and offer students real-life opportunities for teaching practicums.

It doesn’t cost a thing to support sustainable TCM and protect endangered species

Register for the free TELUS Health eClaims service by December 31, 2016 and TELUS will donate $25 to the World Wildlife Federation (up to a maximum of $2,500) to support the promotion of sustainable traditional Chinese medicine and the protection of endangered species such as tigers and rhinoceros.

eClaims lets you submit acupuncture claims on behalf of your patients to 10 leading insurance companies covering 85% of privately insured Canadians. By offering eClaims to your acupuncture patients, you are reducing their out-of-pocket expenses and eliminating their need to deal with insurance claims.

You save on debit and credit card fees by only charging your clients their deductible, receive quick payment from insurers (most via direct deposit) and you get listed on the eClaims provider search tool, available on many insurer plan member portals – that’s free marketing!

Register for eClaims today!

Acupuncturists can now direct bill to Blue Cross Insurance for their patients’ treatments.

Practitioners must first register with Blue Cross to obtain a Provider number (this is needed whether doing direct online billing or whether your patient is submitting the forms manually).

This includes BOTH regulated and unregulated provinces!

CLICK HERE to get started today!

If you have any questions, please check out our new Insurance Forum section.  Look for FAQ and tips on enrolment and processing,  and feel free to add your comments directly under the posts.  Don’t see what you need?  You can email our Help Desk at cmaacFAQ@outlook.com
