5 HEALTHY Did you know you have these health benefits? Acupuncture and chiropractic services ●  ● Medi-Cal: Members can get a total of two services per calendar month. For example, you can get one acupuncture visit and one chiropractic visit within a month, or you can choose to get two chiropractic visits within a month. No referral is required, but you must go to a contracted provider in our service area. If your provider feels you may benefit from having more acupuncture visits or chiropractic services for pain management, he or she may send us an authorization request. ●  ● In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS): Members can get up to 20 visits per benefit year (July 1 to June 30) for each service. There is a co-payment of $10 per visit. You will need a referral from your primary care provider to get these services, and you must go to a contracted provider in our service area.
