CHIROPRACTIC
HEALTH CENTRE accepts most insurance plans
including auto accidents and worker's compensation
carriers, Horizon BCBS, Medicare, Aetna, Cigna, United
Health Care and many others. Just bring your card or
information and we will do the processing and billing.
Our intent is to make insurance billing as hassle-free
as possible for our patients.
Verification of insurance benefits can be obtained
prior to coming in for an initial office visit by
contacting the 800 phone number on your insurance
card. As a courtesy, we will call to verify benefits
with your insurance company. Plans will vary depending
on agreements your employer has with the insurance
carrier. However, the benefits quoted to us by your
insurance company are not a guarantee of payment.
Payment may be due by you at the time of service for
any non-covered services, deductibles or co-pays. We
encourage all patients to contact your insurance
company to verify coverage prior to your visit.
Listed below are the most common types of insurance we
accept. |
| "ON THE JOB" INJURY
(Workers' Compensation) |
| If you are
injured on the job, your care should be paid for under
your employer's Workers' Compensation insurance. You
will need to inform your employer of the accident,
fill out an accident report and obtain the name and
address of the carrier of their insurance. All
treatment in our office needs to be pre-authorized in
writing by your employer or insurance company. |
| PERSONAL INJURY OR
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS |
| Please notify
your own auto insurance carrier of your visit to our
office immediately. Your medical benefit on your auto
insurance is billed first regardless of who was at
fault in the accident or whose automobile you were in.
Notify our office immediately if an attorney is
representing you. This way our office has ongoing
dialogue with your attorney with regard to the status
of your condition and case. If there is any unpaid
balance on your bill, we will wait for settlement of
your claim after your care is completed. Once the
claim is settled, or if you suspend or terminate care,
any fees for services are due immediately. |
| MEDICARE |
| We do accept
assignment from Medicare. The check is usually sent
directly to our office for payment of the services
that Medicare will cover, which for chiropractors is
ONLY manual manipulation of the spine. Medicare pays
80% of the allowable fee once the deductible has been
met. You are required to pay any non-covered services.
Our office completes and submits the forms to
Medicare, on your behalf, at no charge. |
| SECONDARY INSURANCE |
| Please inform us
of any secondary insurance you may have. Secondary
insurance is a supplemental insurance you may have by
yourself, spouse or domestic partner. Our office
completes and submits all secondary insurance at no
charge. |
| NO INSURANCE COVERAGE |
| Please do not let
your insurance coverage (or lack of insurance) dictate
the treatment you need to correct and maintain your
health. If finances are an obstacle, please discuss
this with us. We offer payment plans to fit almost any
budget. |
