After years of treating patients and seeing results, some people may still be hesitant to get chiropractic care. The biggest objections are cost and time. For people who would like to know what to expect regarding time, cost, and how becoming a patient works, the following information is provided.
How much does it cost to see a chiropractor? Can I afford care? Costs and insurance benefits vary. Here is what to expect:
About 60% of our patients do not have insurance coverage for chiropractic care and with changes in insurance that number continues to go up. We designed our office to be able treat patient with and without insurance coverage. The first visit is $47 for the exam and X-rays using the new-patient form; the fee includes reviewing your findings at the next visit. Adjustments are $46 per visit.
We accept Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Medical Mutual, Frontpath, Paramount, Buckeye, Humana, United Healthcare, Workers' Compensation, auto injury insurance, Medicare, and others. Paramount Advantage is not accepted; other Paramount insurance is accepted.
Medicare includes chiropractic coverage and may have an estimated $6–$7 co-pay. Secondary or supplemental plans usually cover the co-pay as well.
No. There are no contracts, and you can stop care at any time. Patients who get great results usually choose periodic visits to maintain them and help keep the initial issue from returning and keep them feeling great.
For some, yes. However, if your condition and chronicity would render a few treatments pointless then we will tell you that. Most patients and conditions a small number of treatments may not create structural change or any change. This is like exercising for two days and stopping: your body may feel much the same and you could end up more sore. Lasting change takes work and time.
