The theme of appropriate access of care is a major consideration in all efforts toward health care reform. When one considers the appropriate use of integrative health practices and practitioners, the theme of access has particular resonance. Even in areas such as pain management and cancer treatment where a quality evidence base for their use has accrued, insurers rarely cover. Those who cannot pay cash are typically denied what may be their optimal treatment.Source
