For millions, chiropractors are a total Godsend. Here at our Illinois health insurance agency, we are often asked a diverse range of questions regarding specialized treatment such as chiropractic, acupuncture and physical therapy; one of the most common as you might expect, is: "Will my health insurance cover the cost of chiropractic treatment?" The short answer is, possibly depending on the type of coverage you have.

When wondering whether or not your chiropractor will accept your health insurance plan, there are a number of variables to be mindful of.  Let's explore some of the basics to help you on your way to a healthier spine and less pain.

Contact Your Preferred Chiropractor Directly

At the risk of sounding completely obvious, the best place to start is by speaking directly with your chiropractor. The number of chiropractic doctors who accept health insurance is considerably high these days, though there are many concerns over how this will be affected as the healthcare system continues to evolve.  If you're feeling awkward or embarrassed about asking... don't be. It's a completely common and legitimate inquiry made by people every day.

Review the Details of Your Current Health Insurance Plan

If you're among the more health insurance savvy, and familiar with how to read insurance policies, the best place to start is by digging up the policy information (which should be available online too), to see if your specific plan covers adjustments, spinal manipulation, massage, TENS, physical therapy, and other popular treatments.  If it does, then you should have no problem using your insurance to cover this expense.  It's worth nothing that many chiropractors only accept PPO plans, so make sure you know exactly what you have.
