Fees
& Insurance
We have made an ethical decision to opt out of certain managed
care networks. In managed care, we found the emphasis to be on “managed,”
rather than “care.” We prefer to work for you rather than
a health insurance carrier. Too often within these networks, we have
found the most routine care to be delayed, restricted or denied and
the expectation of copious paperwork that drives up costs.
At present we do accept Blue Cross, ConnectiCare,
Medicare and Aetna as they are easier to work with. However, most major
health insurance carriers in Massachusetts (Cigna, Tufts, Harvard Pilgrim,
and others) provide good out of network benefits for chiropractic, usually
with either a small to moderate deductible.
Our fees are relative to the level of care we provide and are usual
and customary for care provided in the state of MA. We are pleased to
verify benefits to which you may be entitled even before coming to our
office. In most cases we can bill those benefits directly to your insurance
carrier for covered services.
Patients who are un-insured or under-insured are granted cash discounts
for the care they need. If this is your situation we will discuss these
discounts with you on the phone when you call to schedule your appointment.
