Medicare & Chiropractic Care

We welcome Medicare patients in our office. It’s important to understand how Medicare works with chiropractic care so you know what is covered and what is not.

What Medicare Covers
    •    Medicare Part B covers spinal manipulation (adjustments) when it is considered active treatment for a spinal condition.

What Medicare Does NOT Cover
    •    Examinations or consultations
    •    X-rays or diagnostic imaging
    •    Rehabilitation or exercise therapy
    •    Physiotherapy/adjunct treatments (e.g., IFC, ultrasound, intersegmental traction)
    •    Maintenance or wellness care (when the condition is stable and not “active treatment”)

How Billing Works
    •    If you receive a spinal adjustment for active treatment, we are required to submit that service to Medicare. You are responsible for any deductible, copay, or non-covered portion.
    •    For all non-covered services (exams, rehab, therapies, maintenance/wellness visits), you are responsible for payment at the time of service.

 Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN)

If you choose to receive care that Medicare does not cover, we will provide you with an ABN form so you are fully informed of your financial responsibility before care is given.

Good News!

This means you can still access the same high-quality chiropractic and rehabilitation services as all of our patients — with Medicare covering eligible spinal adjustments, and everything else available at our affordable cash rates.
