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.
