Some insurance policies cover chiropractic care. Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts, as well as Medicare, have covered chiropractic care for years. These carriers recognize that chiropractic care effectively treats many musculoskeletal disorders and most plans do not require a referral from a primary care physician.
Numerous other companies, HMOs and PPOs offer some chiropractic care to their subscribers. In fact, recent articles published in the Journal for Managed Care cited chiropractic care as being more cost effective than conventional medical therapies in treating low back pain.
In addition, injuries resulting from auto accidents are often covered at 100% by auto insurance medical payments coverage.
Please check with your insurance company to confirm chiropractic coverage.
