Enliven Chiropractic & Physical Therapy Welcomes Medicare Patients

Attention Medicare Chiropractic Patients

Enliven Chiropractic PLLC participates with Medicare and we welcome you to our office. We would like to take this opportunity to explain what Medicare covers and does not cover in a chiropractic setting.

 Medicare Covers:

• Chiropractic Adjustments also known as Spinal Manipulations for acute conditions

• Physical therapy evaluation and treatment performed by a Physical Therapist

They Do Not Cover:

• Initial Office Exam performed by Chiropractor

• Subsequent Office Exams for new injuries or progress review performed by Chiropractor

• X-rays ordered by a Chiropractor even if not performed in our office

• Labs ordered by a Chiropractor even if not performed in our office

• Nutritional Supplements

• Nutritional Consultations

• Manipulations (Adjustments) of any area other than the spine (shoulders, head, knees etc.)

• Maintenance Spinal Manipulations (Adjustments)

• Durable Medical Equipment

How will my supplement help?

A Medicare Supplement, depending upon your plan, such as AARP, Bankers Life, Royal Neighbors, etc. will usually only cover the co-insurance and deductible on the service that Medicare pays.

How will a “true” secondary work?

A true secondary typically will cover what Medicare does not pay for in a chiropractic setting. A “true” secondary may or may not have a deductible that needs satisfied prior to their payment on claims. Each secondary is structured uniquely and we will call to verify your benefit with your company.

Please understand that what we are told by the insurance company is the customer service representative’s understanding and interpretation of your policy and it does not guarantee payment.

Your Responsibility

• It is your responsibility to supply us with accurate & current Medical ID cards.

• You must inform us of your type of Medicare (i.e Regular or Railroad)

• It is your responsibility to pay all non-covered services.

• It is your responsibility to pay all co-insurance amounts if you do not have a supplement policy and if your “true” secondary will not be making payment.

• It is your responsibility to verify your insurance benefits.

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask us by calling (304) 933-9355.
