Insurance

In the US, most insurers are required by the state to cover chiropractic care, and many HMOs cover these services as well. In addition, all state workers compensation systems cover chiropractic, and it is also covered through MediCare and Medicaid.

According to a recent study, chiropractic care “is likely to achieve equal or better health outcomes at a cost that compares very favorably to most therapies that are routinely covered in US health benefit plans”. (Foundation for Chiropractic Progress). In addition, covering chiropractic services for neck and low back pain “will likely increase value-for-dollar by improving clinical outcomes and either reducing spending or increasing total spending by a smaller percentage than clinical outcomes improve.”

Nearly half of all patients with chronic back pain turn to chiropractic for treatment, simply because chiropractic is more effective than other models of treatment for dealing with low back and neck pain.

Chiropractic is highly cost effective, costing only a small percentage of general practitioner costs.

If you have health insurance, check to verify that chiropractic services are indeed covered before seeking treatment. Then contact The Back Institute at 904-701-0129 to schedule a free consultation right away.
