How fees work

Insurance we work with
We bill most PPO plans and some others, and not every plan. A plan may pay part of a chiropractic visit, all of it or none.
Most PPO plans
If you pay yourself
You pay at the visit. What sets the fee is the kind of visit, a full visit with an exam or a short adjustment-only visit. The front desk tells you the fee in your written estimate, and the doctor tells you the cost of care before it begins.
Receipts for reimbursement
Ask for an itemized receipt (a superbill) at any visit. You may send it to your plan, and the plan decides whether it pays any of it.
An estimate in advance
If you do not use insurance, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate. Ask us, and we give it to you in writing before your visit.
Checking your benefits
Call your plan before your first visit and ask what it pays for chiropractic care. Our front desk will help you read the answer, but the plan decides.
What the first visit includes
A talk, a hands-on exam, an explanation and a written estimate, in about 45 minutes. X-rays only when medically necessary.

Fees

Two kinds of visit

The fee depends on which one you have, and each says what it covers. The front desk tells you the fee in your written estimate.

X-rays are taken only when medically necessary, and we tell you what they cost and show them to you first.

Medicare
Medicare covers only manual spinal manipulation. Exams, x-rays and other services are not covered. If we think Medicare will not cover a service, we give you a written notice before you decide.
If you cannot make a visit
Call as early as you can so another patient can have your time. We do not charge a fee for a missed visit.

The front desk gives it in writing before your visit.
