NCBAHM is a mid-sized nonprofit organization based in Alexandria, Virginia, founded in 1982. It serves as the national credentialing body for acupuncture and Herbal medicine, validating entry-level competency through professional certification. The certification is used to document eligibility for licensure in 43 states plus the District of Columbia, covering the majority of states that regulate acupuncture. All NCBAHM certification programs are accredited by the National Commission for Certification Agencies (NCCA) and bear the NCCA seal.

In the broader alternative medicine sector, NCBAHM operates as a standards- and credentialing-focused organization. A notable recent development occurred in June 2026, when NCBAHM, in collaboration with the American Society of Acupuncturists (ASA), launched the Acupuncture Injection Therapy Certificate of Qualification, establishing a national credential to verify that licensed acupuncturists performing acupuncture injections meet defined education, clinical training, and competency requirements.
