Nearly all insurance companies in Vermont cover chiropractic care to some extent. Some policies are better than others. Some require a primary care physician referral, but for the most part most people have access to chiropractic care. If you call the number on your insurance card you can ask a customer representative to check your benefits. You can also call our office and ask for our billing manager, who is familiar with many policies in the area. We accept most insurance. (We currently do not participate with MVP, United, Medicaid, or Aetna. Patients with these insurance companies still receive care in our office but must bill themselves after paying for the care.)
If you do not have insurance coverage, chiropractic care is still an affordable therapy to pay for out-of-pocket. The fact that there is no surgery or invasive procedures involved keep the cost of care reasonable as opposed to medical doctor’s care.
It is also important to note that your car insurance and Worker’s Compensation fully cover chiropractic care regardless of whether or not your personal insurance covers the incident. If you are hurt on the job you have the right to seek care from a chiropractor regardless of what your employer tells you. Chiropractic care has been proven to get people back to work quicker at half the cost in relationship to work injuries. In a Work comp situation you are only required to see the company doctor one time. Then it is your choice to seek care where you want. Even if the company doctor recommends otherwise.
