Not sure with your Kaiser plan, but with mine I get a discount on acupuncture services. I think you can go on the Kaiser website (when it works) and look for a member discount section (live healthy?) and it will tell you who in your area is available. For example I only pay $10 co-pays for my chiropractor. I know there are discounts on acupuncture too.

Hmmm...I guess if I needed a referral I would just ask my primary for a referral, or tell/demand them I wanted a referral. Are they giving you a hard time?

They have their own center in Colorado http://www.kpccm.org/ and otherwise:

Looks like they mostly refer for chronic pain.
