Q: Do you accept insurance?

A: Absolutely, we have striven to be in network and preferred providers with every insurance that will allow us to be. When you come in for your first appointment we will check in on your benefits and go over them with you at your Report of Findings visit before we proceed with care.

*You don’t have to have insurance to be seen at our office. We are able to offer a time of service discount for anything not covered by insurances.

Q: What if I do not have insurance? Is care affordable? Do you offer payment plan options?

A: Absolutely! The most common service we perform is a chiropractic adjustment and while the cost may vary slightly with what specifically you need, most patients find the cost of care to be less than what they expected! We also offer a variety of payment options. We will always strive to make sure that finances are not a barrier to care and will do our best to work with you.

Q: How long does a usual adjustment take?

A: The honest answer is it depends. It depends on the condition we are treating, the patient’s needs, what techniques we use and if physiotherapy is needed to supplement the adjustment. Of course we design care to the specific patient but in general most patients are only in our office for about 15 minutes.

Q: Will I be adjusted on my first visit. 

A: Dr. Amanda takes pride in the unique care plan she designs for you. This being said, your first appointment will consist of a detailed physical and neurological exam to evaluate your condition. In order to ensure that Dr. Amanda has reviewed your exam findings and X-Rays, you will  receive your first adjustment on your second visit during your Report of Findings.

Q: Do you offer a Good Faith Estimate?

A: Yes! You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

Q: Will I get X-Rayed?

A: While they aren't required for an adjustment, Dr. Amanda has found that XRAY is a valuable way to analyze your spine. It helps determine any signs of degeneration/arthritis or scoliosis. Dr. Amanda also uses this as an objective measure to evaluate your progress over long periods of time. Dr. Amanda would determine the need for XRAY at your new patient examination and if you have any questions or concerns please address them during your consultation!
