As of January 1st, 2025, Dr. Kelly, DC’s chiropractic office will no longer be accepting insurance.

Things are changing, insurance has not adapted with the economy, if anything, it’s done the opposite.

Reimbursement rates are the same as they were 30 years ago ($25-$28/ visit).

Due to the reimbursement rates, chiropractors are being forced to spend less and less time with their patients in order to make a living. Due to the minimal insurance reimbursement rate, the volume of patients would need to increase.

If Dr. Kelly is to be profitable with insurance patients, she would have to spend significantly less time with each patient and see a higher volume. She refuses to have 2 minutes appointments with patients. Also, with Dr. Kelly’s disability (PCS= concussion), she is unable to see a high volume of patients.

Insurance is no longer covering wellness or supportive care and therefore, is now limiting allowable # of visits. This is leading patients to choose to get less frequent care in order to stay under their insurance’s coverage. Dr. Kelly knows her patients and wants the best for them. Insurance shouldn’t dictate what your care should be.  Your health matters to us (time, being heard, getting adjusted, learning new things to better your health,etc…).

We value your time and quality of care. Insurance does not value or pay for wellness care. Please understand and honor the doctors with reasonable reimbursement rates.

Please remember that the United States Health Care insurance coverage does not cover all types of treatment nor products to make you healthy. They are even less likely to cover treatment that will maintain you and your family at their healthiest. Don't get me wrong, health care pays for many things that aim to get you back on your own two feet. Wellness care and preventative medicine is commonly the thing that doesn't get full coverage.  

 

I would like to also point out that Just because you are out of pain does not mean you are "cured." Understanding what causes pain, is just the first step towards health. Finding and fixing the problems at the source is the real cure!
