We seek to make the chiropractic experience as simple, convenient, and hassle-free as possible for each of our patients.

Do Chiropractors Take Insurance?

Years ago, many insurance carriers and plans did not cover chiropractic care and services. The lack of coverage left many patients struggling in pain resulting from car accidents, back injuries, chronic migraines, sports injuries, and everyday aches and pain. Today, virtually every insurance company (including Medicare and Medicaid) does cover chiropractic services.

In-Network, Private Insurance Plans Accepted at ChiroCare of Florida*:

• Aetna
• AARP
• AVMed of Florida
• Cigna
• Florida Blue
• Humana PPO
• Medicare
• Oscar Health Insurance
• Priority Health
• United Healthcare (Except NHP Plan, Medica Passport & Freedom Network)
• All Auto Insurances
• All Workers Comp. Insurances

*This list does not warrant that a plan will be accepted. All insurance benefits and plans MUST be verified before a patient receives chiropractic treatment from any of our offices or providers.

In recent years there has been a major push by legislative bodies, including Congress, to expand chiropractic coverage. The Bill H.R. 2654 (The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act) concerns Medicare plans and specifically expands the legal definition of “physician” to include chiropractic practitioners. This new Bill includes patient access to all Medicare-covered benefits allowable under a chiropractor’s state licensure.

However, your insurance plan may place limitations on chiropractic care, and it’s important to be aware of and understand these limits before beginning your course of treatment.

Insurance specifications regarding chiropractic treatment may include:

• Mandatory referral from a medical specialist or primary care physician (PCP) stating that chiropractic care is medically necessary.
• A limit on how many chiropractic office visits you can have in either a given month or coverage year.
• A list of specific chiropractic providers or offices you may visit: You may have to see only in-network or carrier-approved chiropractors.
• A need for your chiropractor to create an official active care plan regarding your treatment, and then follow their own written recommendations to receive payment.
• Some insurance plans may require that you meet your annual deductible before they begin to cover and pay for treatment visits.
• And more.

The Benefits of Using Insurance for Chiropractic Treatment

If you’re looking for information regarding chiropractic insurance, benefits are usually one of the first things people want to know when inquiring about their coverage options. Understandably, you’ll want to know what you’ll pay for chiropractic care and if there are any benefits to using your health insurance to do so.

While it is possible to pay for chiropractic treatment out of pocket without insurance, there are many benefits to going through your healthcare plan.

Benefits of using your health insurance for chiropractic care include:

• Payment of 50% – 100% of chiropractic bills. Depending on your specific healthcare plan and insurance benefits, your carrier may pay anywhere from 50% to 100% of the associated costs of treatment. You may have a specialist copay, or you may not, depending on your plan. This is significant because chiropractic care without insurance can get quite expensive. To maximize your savings, check with your carrier to ensure you see an in-network provider that they will cover.
• Payments count toward your insurance plan’s deductible and out-of-pocket max. All insurance plans have cost caps toward a deductible and an out-of-pocket max for the coverage year. The good news is that when chiropractic insurance payments apply, these costs count toward these two things. This can help lower your payments and final financial responsibilities toward all of your other healthcare-related visits in a given year.
  • Health care insurance deductibles: A plan deductible is the amount you must pay by yourself for covered health care services before your insurance plan starts to pay. For example, if your insurance plan deductible is $1,000, then you must pay for the first $1,000 of covered services before your carrier begins payment. After that $1,000 is met for the specified coverage year, then you will typically only have to pay copays or coinsurance amounts thereafter.
  • Health care insurance out-of-pocket max: An insurance out-of-pocket max (OOP max) is the most you will have to pay for covered services in a plan year using your own money. This amount is the sum of all services you receive, regardless of provider. Deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance for in-network care and services count toward the OOP. After you meet your OOP, your insurance carrier typically pays 100% of the costs of covered benefits thereafter. The only health insurance expense that carriers do not count toward this amount is your monthly premium for the plan.
• Receive ancillary services under your insurance coverage all at one location. ChiroCare of Florida offers many ancillary services in addition to traditional chiropractic adjustments. When you use your insurance coverage toward office visits, you can often receive extra services at no additional cost to you. Instead of paying multiple providers and offices individual copayments or full costs, group all services together and pay one fee. Ancillary services available at ChiroCare of Florida include:
  • Acupuncture
  • Cupping Therapy
  • Electrical Stimulation (E-Stim)
  • The Graston Technique
  • Laser Treatment
  • Massage Therapy
  • Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
  • Medical Marijuana Registration
  • Spray Tanning
  • Ultrasound Therapy
  • Cryotherapy
  • And More
• Know your financial responsibility every time, for every visit and treatment. When you use your health insurance benefits to pay for chiropractic treatments, you’ll know exactly what you owe our offices every single time before you visit. That’s because your insurance copays remain the same throughout the entire year. You will never have to worry about a change in the price of services because your insurance takes care of any difference. This makes financial planning for healthcare costs easier and more predictable. You’ll always know that treatment is in your budget.
