  Subsequent treatment visits require 15-20 minutes & cost $45-50.
  If you cannot afford our fees we will work with you to make reasonable accommodations to your financial circumstances. We accept cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard & American Express.
  
  Medicare
• Medicare reimburses ONLY for the SPINAL MANIPULATION portion of a chiropractic office visit. Medicare requires that prior to your treatment the 
  chiropractor must perform an EXAMINATION of your spine that establishes 
  that you have one of the limited conditions that Medicare will pay the 
  chiropractor to treat. While Medicare requires you to have this chiropractic 
  exam, they require that THE PATIENT MUST PAY for it. There are other 
  beneficial services Medicare WILL NOT pay for in a chiropractic office 
  including massage, heat packs, traction, electrical muscle stimulation and 
  others. While Medicare's rules are too lengthy and confusing to fully present 
  here, most commonly in our office it is the Medicare patients responsibility to 
  pay the following fees:
  Initial examination- $100Each Subsequent treatment visit- $31.40 per Medicare's mandatory fee schedule for manipulation alone. Approximately $47 where a manipulation and an uncovered therapy is used.
  If you have AARP secondary insurance AARP will pay your percentage of the Medicare allowed fee for the spinal manipulation service but will not pay for any of the other services as listed above.If you have Secondary Insurance Other than AARP, the secondary benefits vary widely from no additional benefit to full coverage of all costs. This can only be determined on an individual basis. While it is the patients responsibility to understand their own insurance benefits, if you call us we will extend a good 
  faith effort to help you determine this.
  
  Our office is NOT A MEDICARE PARTICIPATING OFFICE. We require payment for all services by the patient at the time the services are rendered. We submit bills to your insurers on your behalf and they should reimburse you as defined in your plan. Of the average $47 charged under medicare the patient is reimbursed an average of $30 resulting in an average out of pocket expense of $17 per visit.

We have office hours Monday - Friday as follows. Call us for changes to our hours with major holidays.

Monday, Wednesday & Friday: 9:30AM - 7PM

Tuesday & Thursday: 3PM - 7PM
