Good morning... Friday, July 4, 2008
With so many health plans available and often customized by employers it is sometimes hard to know what you are covered for. This is usually the most confusing aspect of health care today. The doctors of Professional Chiropractic Associates have been fully credentialed into several HMO and Managed Care Groups serving Northeastern Pennsylvania.

These include: Aetna/USHealthcare, First Priority, GHI, Landmark, and many others. But, just because we are preferred providers with these organizations doesn't automatically mean you have chiropractic coverage! If you have chiropractic inclusion in your insurance thru your employer the personnel office can usually give you the information. However, often they are just as confused as you. Therefore, let us do the legwork for you. Call us with the name of your plan and your contract number. We will call your plan and find out the particulars. Most require referrals from you family physician (gatekeeper). A call from us is usually all it takes to obtain that from them. We do everything possible to make it easy for you to obtain the necessary care. 

If you have had a work injury, chances are we will be on the preferred list of health care providers. Click here to see a list of some of the companies we are associated with. If we are on the list or you are referred to us by one of the other doctors on the list there is no out of pocket expense. We accept payment in full from the carrier for all covered services.

For auto injuries there are no lists and referrals are not necessary. You can come to us directly and, again, we accept payment in full from the insurance company for all covered services. 

We are Medicare providers and as such accept what they pay us. We are required, by law, to collect your deductible and co-pay and for any services not covered by Medicare. You are always notified...in advance!... if any service is not covered.
