What If My Insurance Doesn't Cover Chiropractic Care?
At Mary Jo Giagiari, D.C., we understand that healthcare coverage can sometimes be complex, especially when it comes to chiropractic care. While many insurance plans do cover chiropractic treatments, there may be instances where your insurance policy does not. Don't worry! We're here to guide you through your options and ensure you still receive the care you need.
Understanding Your Insurance Coverage
Before we dive into the steps you can take if your insurance doesn't cover chiropractic care, it's important to have a clear understanding of your insurance policy. Check the details of your plan to see if chiropractic services are excluded or if there are any limitations on coverage.
Some insurance plans cover chiropractic care only for specific conditions, while others may require pre-authorization or referral from a primary care physician. Make sure to review your policy carefully and reach out to your insurance provider for any clarification you may need.
Exploring Alternative Payment Options
If your insurance doesn't cover chiropractic care, there are still several alternative payment options available to you. Consider the following options:
- Cash Payment: You may opt to pay for each chiropractic visit out of pocket. Our clinic offers competitive rates and discounts for cash-paying patients.
- Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA): If you have an FSA or HSA, chiropractic services may be eligible for reimbursement using the funds in your account. Check with your plan administrator for more details.
- Payment Plans: Our clinic offers flexible payment plans to help you manage the cost of chiropractic care without straining your budget. Discuss this option with our friendly staff.
- Medical Financing: Some financial institutions offer medical financing options that can be used to cover chiropractic expenses. Research different providers and choose the option that works best for you.

The Importance of Chiropractic Care for Your Health
While insurance coverage is undoubtedly a factor to consider, the impact of chiropractic care on your overall health cannot be overstated. Chiropractic treatments offer numerous benefits, including:
- Pain Relief: Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate pain and discomfort, whether it's related to back pain, neck pain, migraines, or other conditions.
- Improved Mobility: Regular chiropractic care can enhance joint function and range of motion, allowing you to regain mobility and flexibility.
- Stress Reduction: Chiropractic adjustments help reduce stress on the body, leading to improved mental and physical well-being.
- Enhanced Performance: Whether you're an athlete or someone who engages in physical activities, chiropractic care can optimize your performance and prevent future injuries.
- Overall Wellness: Chiropractic care aims to promote holistic wellness by addressing the root causes, rather than just treating symptoms.
