The Truth About Insurance
It used to be, you'd visit a doctor, wave your insurance card and the bill was
taken care of. Times have changed.
Sick Care
Your policy won't pay for things that actually advance or preserve your health, such as wellness chiropractic care.
The truth is, so-called "health" care is actually "sick" care. It has little to do with promoting health. It's mostly about reducing symptoms with drugs or surgically removing body parts when they fail.
Most policies help cover some sick care costs. But, will they pay for bottled
water, nutritional supplements, gym memberships, jogging shoes and other
wellness activities? Probably not.
Repeated Relapses
Most policies will help pay for chiropractic care when you have obvious
symptoms. Benefits run out when you're feeling better, but before muscles and
ligaments fully heal.
This invites a relapse of your original problem. Lasting healing occurs after
symptoms clear up. If you rely on your carrier, you're likely to suffer a roller coaster series of relapses without correcting the underlying problem!
Catastrophic Problems!
Discontinuing your care too soon invites a relapse of your original problem.
That's because your policy was probably designed for catastrophic problems.
Cancer. Triple by-pass surgery. That sort of thing. Reimbursing for
chiropractic care when you don't have any obvious symptoms is a new idea for
them.
And...it may be a new idea for you too.
That's okay. There was a time when regular brushing and flossing to promote
healthy teeth and gums was a new idea!
The Solution
Will you count on the limited vision and profit motives of your carrier to
dictate what you do or how far you'll take your chiropractic care? Or will you value your health and longevity enough to pay for the care needed to strengthen, stabilize and support your spine and nervous system?
It's your body, your health and your future. Whatever your decision, we'll honor it and do what we can to help you achieve your health goals.
