POLICIES

 

Thank you for considering care here at my office. I have had excellent success in caring for thousands of clients in the 15+ years I have served the East Valley, with hundreds of different conditions, not only back and neck care. However, I do not accept all cases, as I am not able to help everyone. Please start this process by reviewing my policies to see if we are a good fit for one another.


Payment policies

Payment is expected at time of service, unless other arrangements are made prior to your visit. We accept cash, checks, and Mastercard, Visa, and American Express. We have a number of payment plans available to you to help make your care more affordable, which will fit most budgets.

Insurance Coverage

We will provide you with a receipt that you can submit to your insurance carrier for possible reimbursement. We do not accept any insurance coverage, nor do we bill any insurance company.

We are able to keep our costs more reasonable by not participating in the insurance nightmare. The relationship between our doctors and you is our first and only concern; insurance companies, who dictate which care is “best” for you, care more for their “best” bottom line, than they do for your “best” health. Our care is private, discreet, and any decisions about your health care are made by you and the doctor directly.

Medicare

We do not accept Medicare, nor do we bill or provide receipts for reimbursement. Our care does not qualify for medicare reimbursement.

Our facility provides wellness care to our clients, with the goal of restoring your body’s ability to heal itself. We believe this to be the only approach, especially for those in their later years. As we look beyond symptoms, our care is aimed at improving the lifestyle and habits that created these concerns, and perpetuate them. This wellness care is excluded from medicare coverage.

Personal Injury or Auto Accident Claims

If your care is qualified under a personal injury or auto accident claim, we will consider billing these services for you.

Your individual case will need to be reviewed to determine if it qualifies for billing. If we do bill for these services as a courtesy to you, you will be charged our normal, full fees for services. Additionally, you are responsible for all charges in your care, including any charges not reimbursed by the insurance company.

Workers Compensation Injury Claims

We apologize, but we do not accept or bill for workers compensation injury claim in this clinic.

Average visit charges

Average visit charges for chiropractic care or acupuncture care paid for at the time of visit are about $75. Mixed care charges average $95. There is a minimum visit charge of $45.00

Appointments

Most appointments, with the exception of the examination, usually last from 10 minutes to 30 minutes.
If you are late for an appointment, your care time may be reduced in order to finish on time for the next scheduled client.

Your appointment is a time slot reserved for you, and we may charge the minimum appointment fee for missed appointments unless 12 hour notice is given.

If you would like additional time to consult with the doctor, please call prior to your visit. This will allow more effective scheduling of your time.



If you are considering care with me, please go to our "Forms for First Visit" page to view, download and sign the intake form, in preparation for your first visit, which will begin with a consultation. If after the first 15 minutes of our discussing your concerns I don't believe I can help you, there will be no charge for the visit.
