Dear WEAMA Members,

Good news!  L & I is beginning the process to add East Asian Medicine Practitioners as approved providers to serve injured workers in WA State!

We received confirmation from Leah Hole-Marshall, L&I -Medical Administrator, that they are going to proceed with policy options for adding acupuncture for low back pain as a covered L&I service. This will initiate the agency rulemaking process. They will submit a CR 101 soon to start the official regulatory process. The process may take some more time but the patient can start requestion acupuncture treatments for their claims.
