How Does Health Insurance Work for Chiropractic?

Chiropractic health insurance is a type of insurance coverage that pays for a portion of your chiropractic expenses. It protects you from paying full costs of medical services. Your health insurer agrees to pay a certain amount of medical costs as you agree to pay a certain rate or premium each month. Each plan or policy is different for the portion of expenses paid.

What Does Health Insurance Cover?

A standard health policy covers (but not guaranteed to cover):

• Emergency services

• Chiropractic services and procedures

• Visits to primary care doctors and specialists

• Medical check-ups

• Prescription drugs

• Medically necessary procedures

How Does a Deductible Work?

A health insurance deductible requires the insured or anyone who is covered under the plan to pay a certain amount towards their health coverage before the insurance will start paying under the health plan. The insured must pay and satisfy a certain amount of money in order for insurance to pay a certain percentage. After this deductible is met, your plan may pay your chiropractor bills at partial or full reimbursement.

What is a Copay?

Some insured do not have a deductible to satisfy. A copay is a small portion you pay for every doctors visit, lab test, or medical procedure. The insurer (patient) will be responsible for paying the balance. Chiropractic co-pays can range from $5 - $45 depending on which plan you choose.
