Worker's Compensation:
I am Certified by the State of Colorado to treat Workers'
Compensation Injuries. Up to 34 visits are authorized by Work Comp for most injuries. You must bring in a Medical Referral
for Chiropractic and/or Acupuncture from your primary Doctor, however. Sometimes, this can be quite a challenge, but if the
patient is persistent, a referral can usually be obtained so I can get started.

MEDICARE:
Due to Medicare's strict documentation
requirements, audits, and fines, this office does not accept Medicare.
Acupuncture, although NOT covered by Medicare,
is very popular with my Seniors, and can be successful when traditional forms of treatment are not. At my office, we offer
Senior Discounts for Acupuncture, Laser, and Physiotherapy Modalities, if paid at the time of service.

Private Insurance:
There are literally thousands of Private carriers in the
United States, and there is no way to ever determine if your care is covered at my office, unless you visit me in person.
People always want me to confirm if they are covered for care in my office over the phone. Two problems with that:
1) We cannot diagnose you over the phone. I have to physically meet you, and examine you to determine if I can help
you. Only then can we contact Insurance to see if what is wrong with you is covered under your policy.
2) Insurance will not tell us deductible amounts over the phone, nor will they say if you have a pre-existing condition.
So COME IN so we can figure all of that out. If your Chiropractor tells you that you are covered in their office over the
phone, just because they are on a list, or a preferred provider, they are not allowed to do that, and many times they are
wrong.

Does My Insurance Cover Chiropractic and/or Acupuncture Services??
Insurances either will
usually cover all, or part of the bill, unless you have no Chiropractic coverage. Bring in your Insurance card and we will
verify your coverage, and advise you as to which way to proceed to get the maximum amount of the bill paid. Most Insurance
reimbursement is in the neighborhood of 70% on average.
