BentoBox for Acupuncture / TCM

Notes done. For acupuncturists.

Point selection, TCM patterns, and treatment-style phrasing in a SOAP note that still reads like Western charting.

The documentation tax on acupuncturists.

Acupuncture practice straddles two documentation worlds: TCM patterns and Western SOAP. Translating between them every visit eats clinical time.

Insurance-billed sessions also need clear ICD-10 mappings (M54.2 cervicalgia, M54.50 low back pain, R51.9 headache) tied to the points and modalities used.

BentoBox ships an acupuncture pack with body/auricular point selection, cupping/moxibustion/Tui Na technique phrasing, TCM pattern language, and the ICD-10 codes payers expect for common complaints.
