Free Video Content
This section contains an important Jeffrey Yuen video on Covid-19, as well as four more member benefit videos of recent webinars if you were unable to attend.
Jeffrey Yuen talk on Covid-19
MAS is pleased to offer you a complimentary video recording of the first 28 minutes of Master Jeffrey Yuen’s March 7th-8th 2020 class entitled Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for the Recovery from Illness, which contained relevant information on the treatment of the COVID-19 virus from the TCM model.
Master Yuen has granted us permission to share this important conversation with all MAS members. The information he shared is both pertinent, and timely. Master Yuen reviewed the eLotus article on COVID-19 written by Dr. John Chen. It was helpful for the audience to hear the treatment protocol of COVID-19 and pathology from the Chinese Medicine paradigm. We are offering our members this recording for the benefit of you, your patients, friends and family. This is only available to members when you log into the MAS website with your member credentials.
Here is the article Master Yuen referenced:

Telehealth, Billing and Marketing Free Member Benefit Webinars
The three videos below are of MAS member seminars, one given on 5/28/20, the other a recording of the Telehealth billing webinar which was a follow up and update to the 4/9 Telehealth billing & marketing webinar.
About the Speaker, Stacey Ma:
MAS Member Stacey Ma is a 3rd generation acupuncturist and has been doing insurance billing for over 9 years. She has a six-figure practice, and wants to use her knowledge and skills to help fellow acupuncturists, especially during this time of crisis.
This free webinar covered:

A Note About Recordings and Disclaimer
We recorded the class for those who could not attend, however, due the rapidly changing nature of this information, it is best if you not rely on this recording alone. Stacey Ma is not to be held responsible should the insurance companies, who are regularly updating their telehealth policies per the pandemic, change their information, and should you not be reimbursed when billing telehealth.
