What About the Cost?
THE INITIAL CONSULTATION WITH THE CHIROPRACTOR OR ACUPUNCTURIST
IS ALWAYS FREE. CALL 877-8980 TO SCHEDULE.*
Holistic health care is not cheap, but it is a true bargain
in today's health care marketplace. Consider that you may
be able to reduce or eliminate your expensive prescription
drugs after receiving treatment! We always make an effort
to control costs by eliminating unnecessary X-rays, test,
and treatments while maintaining quality care. We do not participate
in any H.M.O. plans because we do not believe that they allow
us to provide excellent health care.
To get the best possible cost for your treatment, please
pay at our time-of-service discounted rate. If you pay in
full as you go, our fees are deeply discounted. See our fee
schedule page for more information.
Most health and automobile insurance covers chiropractic
care; many also cover massage and acupuncture. We will bill
verified insurance for the percentage they indicate they will
pay. Of course, if they do not pay, the patient or his or
her parent or guardian remains responsible for payment. Some
patients choose to pay at our discounted time-of-service payment
rate and be reimbursed for care; we submit the claims for
you.
Your initial face to face or telephone consultation with
the Doctor is at no charge.*
We are not a provider for any HMO's. This is a conscious decision
to supply higher-quality services without over scheduling.
We accept BC/BS PPC, as well as verified health insurance,
PIP auto insurance, and selected Worker's Compensation and
Medicaid cases.
We accept cash, checks and credit cards. We have an arrangement
with a reputable credit issuer so that you can make budget
payments. We file major medical, Personal Injury, and Worker's
Compensation. Special discounts are available for payment
in full at time of service. If you have valuable skills or
abilities, the doctor is open to barter as well.
Our policy is never to refuse anyone care because of inability
to pay. Even if you cannot qualify with our credit company,
if you are willing to make your health care a priority, we
can work out a budget payment plan that will fit your needs.
*THE PATIENT AND ANY OTHER PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT
HAS THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO PAY, CANCEL PAYMENT, OR BE REIMBURSED
FOR PAYMENT FOR ANY OTHER SERVICE, EXAMINATION, OR TREATMENT
WHICH IS PERFORMED AS A RESULT OF AND WITHIN 72 HOURS OF RESPONDING
TO THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE FREE, DISCOUNTED FEE, OR REDUCED
FEE SERVICE, EXAMINATION, OR TREATMENT. (Florida Statute)
