HEALTH INSURANCE:
Parkway Chiropractic accepts most insurance plans. However, health insurance rules dictate that chiropractic is covered only in "acute care" situations.
Acute Vs. Maintenance Care:
ACUTE CARE is short-term in nature. This would be care for a recent injury or other issue which will result in significant functional improvement and decreased pain within a predictable period of time (generally within a period of two months). This care requires frequent visits that reduce in frequency as the patient improves. This is the only type of care that is considered by the insurance industry to be "medically necessary" and potentially covered by any insurance benefits.
MAINTENANCE CARE is meant to prevent future relapses and maintain the condition after active care has been completed. This is also known as Wellness or Preventative Care. The insurance industry considers maintenance/preventative chiropractic care to be "not-medically necessary" and therefore does not cover these types of visits. This is similar to your car insurance not covering oil changes and tune-ups which are required for proper vehicle maintenance.
No Insurance? No Worries!:
For people choosing "preventive" or "wellness" care, you would participate in the "Healthcare Made Affordable" cash program, which provides you and your family with an affordable way to receive chiropractic care (approximately the cost of your insurance co-pay). My goal is to allow everyone the opportunity to experience the benefits of regular chiropractic care.
Family Plans:
My focus is to actively help you and your family take responsibility for your health. In an effort to make living the wellness lifestyle as easy and affordable as possible, I can create a customized plan that is specific to you and your family.
