For all three plans, HDHP, HMO and POS, Sharp Health Plan has partnered with American Specialty Health (ASH) to provide you access to a
California network of licensed and credentialed chiropractors and acupuncturists. You do not need a referral from your primary care physician
to access chiropractors or acupuncturists for covered services under this supplemental benefit plan; simply call any in-network chiropractor or
acupuncturist whenever you need to access care. You can contact ASH at 800-678-9133 to find a provider. You are eligible for up to 40 visits
combined from either a participating chiropractor or acupuncturist per calendar year for consultation, treatment and diagnostic testing. You
pay a $15 co-pay to the provider for each visit.
