This is something you'll need to discuss with your insurance company. I am not considered as a health care provider so I am not able to bill insurance directly. I may produce a receipt for you upon payment and you may attempt to claim it with your insurance for a reimbursement. Unfortunately I am unable to guarantee that you'll be reimbursed so it's best to check with your insurance first.
