Although insurance is meant to help you take care of expenses needed for health care to keep you healthy and well, chiropractic care is not always included under this coverage. It’s important to remember that simply because you have insurance, even if it is very good coverage, that does not necessarily mean that a chiropractic office can bill that insurance for the chiropractic services you are seeking out.

Health insurance primarily covers sick care, i.e. things that come up in times of emergency/crisis when you may need immediate or critical care, medication, or a surgical procedure, and insurance may be applied to cover the cost of the treatment or services rendered. These instances do not often correlate with a proactive or preventative approach to health, which is what chiropractic services often fall under. The general idea here is that health insurance typically covers what is medically necessary, according to your insurance company.

That being said, chiropractors are able to bill insurance for the care and treatment provided to patients pertaining to a more acute/crisis time of need (headaches, neck pain, sciatica, lower back pain, etc.) The chiropractic team at Dr. Gena Chiropractic, your favorite family chiropractor in Plantation, does work with many insurance plans. Though, they can still take care of you when you are seeking out chiropractic care as a proactive or preventative approach to health and wellness. The majority of our patients are self-paying, which is why we, and many other chiropractic offices, strive to offer affordable options for patients who are seeking care regardless of insurance coverage. 

If you are wondering whether you are able to use your insurance for chiropractic care, the best thing to do is verify your benefits with your chiropractor’s office to see what is and what is not covered. There can be different coverage benefits for plans and providers who are in and out-of-network. This is why it’s best to reach out to the office you are seeking care with to help you verify your individual benefits.
