Q. Is Chuna for tonic purposes also covered by insurance?
Chuna therapy is covered by health insurance. If diagnosed with a musculoskeletal condition, insurance applies. Even when the goal is tonification, accompanying symptoms often qualify for insurance.
📝 Detailed Answer
A tonifying purpose in itself is not a subject for national health insurance cover.
Chuna therapy is covered by national health insurance where it has been diagnosed as a musculoskeletal condition and treatment is needed. That is, it becomes a covered subject when there really is a problem in the back or neck and, after examination, treatment is judged necessary.
We do not attach a diagnosis for the sake of insurance cover where there are no symptoms. We say this plainly.
Chuna has an annual limit on covered sessions, and the co-payment rate differs by the type of procedure. The scheme and criteria can change, so we explain on the current basis when you attend.
