PPO Plans
If you have a PPO plan we're not directly contracted with, you can still get reimbursed. Here's how it works step by step.
You pay at the time of the visit
You pay our standard rate at the time of service — ($175 for a new patient exam, $95 for follow-up adjustments with Soft tissue work, exercises and a home-care program)
We provide the Superbill
A superbill is a detailed receipt containing all the billing codes, diagnosis codes, and provider information your insurance needs to process a claim. We provide this at no extra charge.
You submit to your insurance
You submit the superbill directly to your insurance company — usually online through your member portal or by mail. Most PPO plans make this straightforward.
Your insurance reimburses you
Many PPO patients receive up to 70% reimbursement on covered services after their deductible is met. The amount depends on your specific plan's out-of-network benefits. Please call your insurer before your first visit to understand what to expect.
Before your first visit: Call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask: "What are my out-of-network chiropractic benefits and what is my deductible status?" This takes 5 minutes and tells you exactly what to expect.
Why Cash-Pay
Why our programs are cash-pay.
This is a question we get often and it deserves a straight answer.
Insurance only covers chiropractic manipulation
Under most plans, insurance covers spinal adjustment — and nothing else. Soft tissue therapy, corrective exercise, and movement coaching are explicitly excluded. A program session that includes all three can't be cleanly billed to insurance without splitting it into separate claims — which creates billing complexity, delays, and often still results in denial for the non-adjustment components.
Packages can't be billed to insurance in advance
Insurance reimburses services rendered — not services prepaid. A 12-visit program paid upfront doesn't fit the standard insurance billing model regardless of what's included in each session.
Cash-pay means better care, no restrictions
When care is insurance-driven, visit frequency, treatment type, and duration are all subject to insurer approval. Cash-pay means the doctors makes clinical decisions based on what's best for you — not what a plan will authorize. Flat rates, no claim denials, no surprise bills.
Using your HSA or FSA.
HSA / FSA accepted
→New patient exam — $255 (History, Exam and Treatment)
→Standard adjustment visits — $95
→Extended visits — $110 (paid at time of service)
HSA and FSA funds are accepted for individual visits paid at the time of service. Chiropractic care is a qualified medical expense under IRS guidelines.
HSA / FSA not accepted
→Prepaid visit packages
→Restore, Rebuild, or Optimize programs
HSA and FSA funds cover services at the time they're rendered — not prepaid future services. Packages and programs paid upfront may not qualify under IRS rules -please check with your program HSA/FSA program first.
A note on Medicare.
Medicare and chiropractic has so many nuances worth understanding...
We are enrolled but are currently non-participating
The doctors are enrolled in Medicare Part B but is currently considered non-participating. If you are a Medicare beneficiary and would like to discuss your options, please call or text us directly.
What Medicare Part B covers for chiropractic
Medicare Part B covers manual spinal manipulation to correct a subluxation — AND NOTHING ELSE BY A CHIROPRACTOR. Exams, X-rays, soft tissue work, and exercise are not covered. Medicare pays 80% of the approved amount for covered adjustments after the annual deductible is met.
Important: chiropractors cannot opt out of Medicare
Unlike some other providers, doctors of chiropractic are not permitted to opt out of Medicare under federal law. This means if we treat a Medicare patient for a covered service, we are required to bill Medicare — a patient cannot simply waive Medicare and pay cash for a covered service. This is why we are selective about accepting Medicare patients.
