Intergrative Medicine

What Intergrative Medicine does

The Integrative Medicine Center is a single-location private acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine practice located at 366 Mill Street, Hagerstown, Maryland, operated by Janet Willa Smith, a licensed acupuncturist with a Master's in Acupuncture from the Traditional Acupuncture Institute (now Maryland University of Integrative Health) and over 20 years of clinical experience. The practice delivers two core services: Classical Acupuncture, which uses thin needles inserted at specific meridian points to regulate the flow of Qi along 12 energy pathways diagnosed via pulse assessment, and Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine, drawing from approximately 1,000+ herbal, mineral, and animal substances formulated into customized prescriptions of 10 or more synergistic herbs delivered as teas, pills, or tinctures. A third offering, Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture, is listed but currently paused due to COVID-19.

The business operates on a direct service-delivery model: patients book appointments by phone (new patients) or via the Jane App online scheduling platform (existing patients), with initial visits of approximately 90 minutes and follow-ups of approximately 60 minutes. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service acupuncture and herbal prescriptions, with in-network billing to Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Health Care, and Aetna, out-of-network claims filed with other carriers, and participation in the Veterans Administration Community Care Program as well as personal injury and Workers Compensation cases. Marketing is limited to organic content on a WordPress blog covering Traditional Chinese Medicine principles and seasonal health, amplified via Facebook and X. The practice is founder-owned with no external investors, no funding rounds, and no evidence of headcount expansion beyond the single practitioner.
