The Association for Professional Acupuncture is Pennsylvania’s state organization for non-physician Acupuncturists. Our goal is to support the educational and professional needs of Oriental Medicine in Pennsylvania. Educationally, we sponsor and announce continuing education events throughout the state and have helped bring prominent members of our profession to PA. Legislatively, we are continuously working in Harrisburg to fight for fair practice standards so we can provide the very best care for our patients.
Announcement about Health Benefits for Members
The APA Board of Directors would like to announce that we have recently entered into an agreement with Bost Workplace Benefits to offer a special members only rate for several insurance products, including short-term disability, life insurance, dental and supplemental indemnity plans, and 24/hour medical services. Bost Benefits will work with individual members to customize plans to meet their individual needs.
Bost specialists do not work for any particular insurance company, so they are free to choose solutions and services based on independent analysis. Lianne Sia-Dictor is the Bost Benefits specialist who has negotiated special rates for APA members. These rates are only available to APA members in good standing. Members can contact Ms. Dictor at 877-283-7600, Ext. 223, or at LSia-Dictor@BostBenefits.com. See our Membership Page for more Details
