Will your services be covered by my insurance?
Once you become a patient, we will verify your insurance benefits. On your initial visit, we will explain your coverage to you. This will be a quote of benefits, not a guarantee of payment. You are responsible for any balance that your insurance company does not cover including, but not limited to, your deductible, copay and coinsurance.

What are my options if I do not want to go through insurance?
Many of our patients choose not to submit to insurance for various reasons. We offer an out of pocket rate ranging from $225-$250 for the initial assessment and treatment. Typical follow-up visits will range from $75-$175 for each appointment. This amount is based on an average of the major insurance companies’ allowed amount for a typical appointment. Payment is due at time of service.
Do you accept auto claims, workers comp and personal injury cases?
We will submit claims for auto accidents, for workers comp and for personal injury cases. Patients must provide us with claim number and detailed information on where claims are to be submitted, including claims address, claims adjustor or contact name, and contact information.

Does it matter which doctor I see?
All of our doctors are board certified chiropractic physicians. They each employ a similar philosophy for your treatment which will integrate soft tissue techniques, functional rehabilitation and chiropractic adjustment to create an individualized approach to your health.
What can I expect for my initial visit?

Please arrive at least fifteen minutes before your scheduled appointment time even if you have filled out our paperwork ahead of time. In order to submit to insurance, we must have additional forms filled out in the office at the time of your appointment. The initial consultation, which lasts 60 minutes, consists of a thorough review of medical history, orthopedic & functional examination and treatment followed by establishing your patient-centered diagnosis and treatment plan.

What should I bring to my first appointment?
  • The doctor will need you to be able to move freely during your visit, so please bring/wear comfortable or exercise type clothing to your appointment. Loose clothing allows the doctor access to evaluate your complaint (ex: shorts for knee or leg complaint, tank top for shoulder or upper back issue).
  • Insurance card
  • Photo ID
  • Any imaging scans and reports (MRI, X-ray, MR Arthrogram, etc.)

Please note: If you will need to change clothing prior to your appointment, both of our offices have locker room facilities, but please allow extra time in order to do so.
