Of 94 fatal acetaminophen overdose cases in which the reasons for exposure are known, most were associated with suicidal intentions. In 25% of the fatal cases, unintentional therapeutic error (n = 10) and intentional misuse without suicidal intent (n = 14) were the reasons for the exposure.
Acupuncture is covered under Medicare if the acupuncturist is also a medical doctor. Many Private Health Funds cover acupuncture given my non-medical acupuncturists (depending on level of cover).
Since Medicare does not cover acupuncture, you will not be covered for treatment. However, Medicare will pay for physical therapy. If you are looking to switch your Medigap plan, call one of our licensed independent insurance agents at 800-930-7956.
