An acupuncturist like Paulette Mcmillan specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing some diseases using acupuncture needles. Acupuncturists carefully insert and manipulate fine, solid needles at specific points on the skin to achieve therapeutic benefits. Modern medicine explains that acupuncture works by stimulating the nervous system, causing the body to release certain chemicals, including endorphins, in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals assist the body in managing and regulating pain. Other commonly used treatment methods in acupuncture include herbs or mixtures of herbs, and acupressure, which involves massaging acupuncture points instead of using needles.

The provider doesn't accept Medicare and has signed an affidavit to be excluded from the Medicare program. If you are a Medicare beneficiary this means a provider can charge whatever they want for services rendered but must follow certain rules to do so. Paulette Mcmillan opted out of Medicare effective on 11-23-2021 until 11-23-2025. Opt out periods last for two years and cannot be terminated unless the provider is opting out for the very first time and the affidavit is terminated no later than 90 days after the opt out effective date. Opt-out affidavits might renew automatically renew every two years. The provider opted out of Medicare and cannot order and refer services to other healthcare providers.
