Again, we do ask our new patients to arrive 15 minutes early in order to fill out the paperwork. There is a lot of information needed in order to have your visits paid for by the insurance company. Everything needs to be documented correctly, especially for patients seeking treatment after an accident.
Manasota Accident and Injury Center can accept most health insurance plans that offer chiropractic care and massage therapy benefits. Some insurance providers do require a co-payment or payment made out to your health care provider at the time of service.
Our team can help you determine what is covered by your insurance before you come in for your initial visit. When you call to set up your initial appointment, please provide your full name, date of birth, and insurance information.
Injuries in the workplace are a common occurrence. Under Florida Law, workers’ compensation can be used to help obtain chiropractic treatment with some restrictions. Workers’ compensation allows for 24 chiropractic treatments or 12 weeks of treatment after the initial session, whichever comes first. You must have opened a successful workers’ compensation claim first though.
You can get additional treatment covered by your workers’ compensation carrier if your adjuster authorizes it. Requests for additional treatment through workers’ compensation are often rejected, unfortunately.
Manasota Accident and Injury Center specializes in providing chiropractic care to people who have been injured in a car accident. Car accidents can be extremely dangerous and often lead to back, neck, and spine injuries such as whiplash.
Our office is set up to accept payment through car insurance policies following an accident. However, in order to have your treatment covered through your motor vehicle insurance, it is important that everything is documented correctly. We will need all the pertinent information regarding the accident and your insurance.
Some questions that will be asked are:
Patients who wish to receive chiropractic treatment, but are not covered by insurance benefits, may believe that chiropractic care is too expensive. However, there are other options available. Learn more about affordable chiropractic care options here.
Patients that are not using insurance or workers’ compensation to cover care can make their payment at the time of service. Manasota Accident and Injury Center accepts payment via cash, credit/debit card, or check.
Patients will be asked to provide information about their health history, symptoms, and reason for visiting prior to their initial exam. This background information helps us better understand your situation and determine what kind of treatment would be best for you.
Questions you may be asked include:
Additional health history information that may be requested include:
What To Expect
After the documentation has been properly filled out we can start our examination. New patients will undergo a thorough examination which includes general tests, such as reflexes, respiration, pulse, and blood pressure. We may also use specific orthopedic and neurological tests to evaluate:
Other chiropractic tests that may be used during your initial exam include:
New patients will usually undergo diagnostic tests as well to help better understand pathologies and identify structural abnormalities that could help diagnose any problems. Diagnostic testing may include X-rays or MRI scans.
If X-rays are needed, we will take you into our X-Ray room with our chiropractic physician who will help you get ready. Once the films are ready, one of our car accident doctors will go over the films with you to see what treatment plan will be best for you. They will also go over your paperwork with you to make sure everything is in order. X-rays can help:
An MRI may be requested if your chiropractor believes there is soft tissue damage. An MRI can help determine if there are torn mussels, damaged discs, compressed nerves.
Once a diagnosis has been determined, your chiropractor will decide if your injuries will respond well to chiropractic treatment. Treatment can get started on your initial visit in order to get the healing process started quickly.
This will all be documented in order for you to have the best documentation possible for your auto injuries. If your injuries are more severe and surgical intervention is needed, our doctors will refer you to a trusted specialist.
Several treatment sessions or ongoing treatment may be required depending on your injuries. Visits typically last anywhere from 15 minutes – 1 hour. Our staff members will know your treatment plan and block out specific times that you need to be treated with our doctors to get the best results.
