MEDICARE FAQ
As a patient with Medicare it's important you understand your financial responsibility before you go through the process of making an appointment. Please look at the chart below to determine how much of your visit will be covered and what, if any, out of pocket costs you can expect. Medicare will not EVER pay for anything other than a chiropractic adjustment. Medicare will not cover your first exam or any subsequent exams. These are Medicare's rules and we look forward to the day they revise them.
Patients are responsible to pay any out of pocket costs at the time of their visit. We do not balance bill patients at a later date as all medicare out of pocket costs are predictable at the time of visit.
Please come prepared to pay your balance at the time of your visit.
