WORKER'S COMPENSATION:
I am Certified by the State of Colorado
to treat Workers' Compensation Injuries. 34 - 48 visits may be authorized by Work Comp for many 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,
consult with 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, or non-covered condition. So, COME IN
so we can discuss your options. If a 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 will usually cover at least 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 your care covered.
