YOUR FIRST CHIROPRACTIC APPOINTMENT
Your chiropractic treatments take place in a friendly and judgment-free environment.
Each session is focused on getting you feeling your best as fast as possible. Depending on your condition, a typical session will last approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
Please complete our new patient forms and bring them with you to your first appointment, along with any medical assistive devices, such as a brace, splint, or crutches. Provide valid photo identification (i.e. driver’s license, state ID, or passport) in addition to your insurance card when you arrive.
If you are not able to complete the forms before your first visit, please come 15-20 minutes early to complete these important forms.
Your appointment time reflects when treatment begins. If running late, give us a call so we can try to accommodate your schedule.
DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT
Wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move around in and allows clinicians to access your point of pain. Sweatpants, gym shoes, and other workout attire is preferred. Private rooms are utilized, and you may be asked to change into a gown to allow better access to the area of your body being treated (like the neck or back), while still maintaining utmost modesty.
Your Doctor may also have a Chiropractic Technician assist with the treatment. These individuals are part of the team and are trained to help you get the most out of your experience. These individuals are part of the team and are trained to help you get the most out of your experience.

Billing for chiropractic services is similar to what happens at your doctor's office.
When you are seen for treatment, the following occurs:
The chiropractor bills your insurance company, Workers' Comp, or charges you based on Common Procedure Terminology (CPT) codes.
Those codes are transferred to a billing form that is either mailed or electronically communicated to the payer.
The payer processes this information and makes payments according to an agreed-upon fee schedule.
An Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is generated and sent to the patient and the physical therapy clinic with a check for payment and a balance due by the patient.
The patient is expected to make the payment on the balance if any.
It is important to understand that there are many small steps (beyond the outline provided above) within the process. Exceptions are common to the above example as well. At any time along the way, information may be missing, miscommunicated, or misunderstood. This can delay the payment process. While it is common for the payment process to be completed in 60 days or less, it is not uncommon for the chiropractic clinic to receive payment as long as six months after the treatment date.

You should wear loose-fitting clothing to expose the area that we will be evaluating and treating. For example, if you have a knee problem, it is best to wear shorts. For a shoulder problem, a tank top is a good choice. For low back problems, wear a loose fitting shirt and pants, again so we can perform a thorough examination.
