Insurance:
If you have health insurance that you believe has chiropractic benefits that would be covered in this office, we will verify your insurance coverage for you. Once your eligibility and coverage is determined, we will file all your insurance claims for you to the extent that your policy permits. Your health insurance company will then send you a statement (explanation of benefits) explaining what services were paid for on their behalf as well as any amount that is your responsibility (co-insurance or deductible).
It is the policy of this office that you pay your patient portion (copay or co-insurance) at the time of visit.
On occasion, the insurance company will send a check for payment of services to patient. Should that occur, please endorse the check and bring payment directly to New Element Chiropractic. If there is an overpayment from your health insurance, New Element Chiropractic is obligated to reimburse the insurance company directly and any overage will be remitted to them.
