Chiropractic and acupuncture options for optimal health

Here's what you need to know about chiropractic, acupuncture and other services, such as nutrition and physical therapy.

Sometimes natural health care practices can be just what you need to support optimum health and recovery. We’ve partnered with American Specialty Health (ASH) to provide you with optional chiropractic and acupuncture care from excellent providers.

Many Sharp Health Plan members have access to acupuncture and chiropractic services through their benefit plans, either included or added as extra benefits.

Find out if your plan includes chiropractic and acupuncture services by logging into Sharp Connect or checking the summary of benefits in your Member Handbook.

Additional benefits from ChooseHealthy^®

As a Sharp Health Plan member, you can receive discounts on alternative care and wellness products through the ChooseHealthy^® program, a product of American Specialty Health (ASH). Sharp Health Plan works with ASH to offer discounts on various fitness and wellness products and services, including:

Alternative care discounts

Receive 25% off usual provider rates on services from an extensive, credentialed network of chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists and dietitians. You may visit any of these providers directly, without a physician referral.

Wellness product discounts

Receive up to 55% off suggested retail prices on more than 2,400 health and wellness products, including vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements, homeopathic remedies, sports nutrition products, books, DVDs, fitness products and skin care items. Free shipping and handling are available on most orders.

What you should know before accessing services

The Sharp Health Plan alternative care and wellness product discount offerings are administered by ASH. The program is not insurance and in some cases is not a covered benefit of your medical health plan. If you have access to any of these services as covered benefits under another plan or policy, you should exhaust those benefits before using Sharp Health Plan's services. Your costs for these services do not count toward your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum through Sharp Health Plan, unless they are included in your medical benefit plan. Any disputes regarding these products and services may be subject to Sharp Health Plan's and/or ASH's grievance process. Sharp Health Plan and Best Health^® do not have any financial ownership arrangements with ASH.
