  • First Visit

    You may expect that your initial visit will last up to 45 minutes which will include your initial exam and treatment.

  • New Patient Paperwork

    Upon arriving for your appointment, you will fill out new patient paperwork. This paperwork provides us with the intake information that the doctor will need about you and your condition.

    We encourage you to download the new patient packet by clicking on the New Patient Tab on the contact page of this website so that everything is completed when you check in for your appointment.

    If you are unable to have the paperwork completed in advance, please arrive for your appointment 15 minutes before your scheduled time to ensure that you have enough time to complete the paperwork and check in.

  • Insurance

    We ask that you bring your current medical insurance card(s) with you. Our staff will submit claims on your behalf to your insurance company.

    Please be aware that not all insurance policies cover all providers within our office.

    If you have insurance coverage, we encourage you to contact your insurance provider or check your insurance provider’s website to ensure that you have coverage in our office.

    Your co-pay or co-insurance will be due at time of your visit. When your insurance company has processed the claim submitted for your visit, your insurer will send you an explanation of benefits for your visit.

    This explanation will include your responsibility including any deductible that may apply. Please note that insurance coverage is not a guarantee of payment.

  • Medicare and Medicare Advantage Policies

    At the beginning of each year, traditional Medicare has a deductible that will need to be met. Traditional Medicare covers chiropractic manipulations but does not cover the new patient examination.

    Medicare Advantage policies typically follow the traditional Medicare guidelines and will only cover the services that traditional Medicare covers.

    Some Medicare Advantage policies limit the providers that you can see.

    We encourage you to contact your insurance company to ensure that you will have coverage with a provider in our office and to determine what services will be covered under your policy.

  • Little or No Chiropractic Insurance

    If you have no insurance or do not have chiropractic benefits, there is still a way for you to receive the care you need. Many patients pay directly for care.

    Cost of care is determined by the treatment that is recommended for your condition.

  • Examination and Treatment

    In order to determine how to proceed with treatment, the doctor will go over your medical history, ask you various questions related to your condition, and go over any concerns that you may have and perform a physical examination.

    If the doctor determines that chiropractic care is indicated and likely to help you, treatment will be provided.

    If the doctor determines that treatment by a different professional is indicated, a referral will be made.

    Prior to check out, you and the doctor will work together on a treatment plan that will be the most beneficial for you.

    You may be given instructions on certain things to do at home. These may include: exercises, stretching, heat or ice application.

    We do not perform x-rays in our office. If the doctor feels that any imaging is needed, you will be referred outside the office.

  • Schedule Your Next Appointment

    When you check out, our staff will work with you on setting up a convenient time for your follow-up visit.

    Unless otherwise indicated by the doctor, you may expect your follow-up visits to last 15 minutes.
