Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take Insurance?
The short answer is NO. I do however take insurance coverage from Motor Vehicle injuries and Workers Compensation. We are an out-of-network provider for all insurance companies and plans. But, your insurance plan may cover a portion or all of your chiropractic care in our office if you have one that offers out-of-network benefits, however, we do not bill the insurance company on your behalf but offer assistance along the way.
Why are we out-of-network?
We have found that participating with insurance companies restricted us from providing the best, most individualized service and personalized care. We are not willing to compromise outstanding care by having to comply with the restrictions set forth by the insurance companies. No longer accepting insurance allows us to focus to solely be focused on providing the best care for our patients.​
Will my insurance company reimburse me?
Since there are so many plans and coverage varies widely, we encourage you to contact your insurance company directly to verify your benefits. To make it easier for you to inquire about your benefit please print the Insurance Verification Form (link below) which outlines all the questions to ask your insurance company. ​At your request we will supply you with statements of payment that include diagnosis and CPT codes, and your insurance company would reimburse you directly. Insurance is a contract between the insured (patient) and the insurance company irrespective of your specific needs or care recommendations. Insurance companies, such as HMO's, PPO's and others, create their own guidelines and are not required to cover chiropractic services.
Can I use an HSA or FSA for care?
YES!! Health Savings Accounts (HSA's) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA's) are a great way to use your money exactly as you choose. Health expenses including chiropractic care are typically eligible for reimbursement from your flex spending account or health savings account. Insurance carriers usually do not cover preventative or wellness chiropractic care, but you can use FSA and HSA accounts for these services.​
