Existing Minor Patient (Insurance)

Patient Information

Read carefully and choose the plan that best fits you.

Plan #1 – Cash, Check or Charge (Non-Insurance) - The new patient appointment is $395 (unless additional x-rays are needed @ $30 per view) and regular follow-up visits are $80 paid at the time of service. Care packages are available for additional savings and can only be used for regular follow up visits. If interested, please ask the staff for the care plan pricing.

Plan #2 – Insurance - Please be aware that we are an out-of-network provider, with the exception of TriWest and Multiplan. If you have insurance that covers out of network chiropractic care, we will bill your out-of-network chiropractic benefits directly if the deductible is $1500 or less. It is your responsibility to determine the out of network chiropractic benefits (we will provide a detailed form that gives all the information you need from your insurance company to determine if you have out-of-network coverage.) It is required that you fill out the document completely after you talk to your insurance company if you wish to go through insurance at Well Connected Chiropractic. It is vital to have this page completely filled out to ensure we have the most up to date and correct information regarding your insurance plan. Until we receive insurance payments for your dates of services, regular follow up visits will remain $80.

Plan #3 - Auto Injury/ Personal Injury - We will need your MedPay benefits/health insurance information and attorney’s name as well as their telephone number (if applicable). Even when working with an attorney on a lien, we may collect copays at each time of service. In the event the lien is voided or MedPay benefits are exhausted, you are responsible for the bill in its entirety immediately. If while under treatment you decide to retain an attorney and your MedPay benefits are distributed to your attorney, you will be responsible for payment in full immediately at time of service going forward and for any outstanding balance the attorney has collected from your MedPay benefits.

When a no-show fee is added to your account, we will reach out to you via call, text, and email to inform you.
