C A R E Chiropractic Clinic

Came in here on a friend’s recommendation, because I had some back pain. The understanding conveyed to me was that the practice was in-​network for my insurance, so I wasn’t concerned about cost at the time… figured whatever they were doing would be covered, after the co-pay.The «Doctor» spent a little time with me, asking about the pain, gave me some recommendations for exercises to do, and then proceeded to run the bill up.
They did x-​rays (at least I think they did — I never actually saw the film), had an assistant give me a massage, and then the doctor did a brief adjustment that didn’t feel very good. He also poked some needles in by back. I paid my co-​pay, and left with roughly the same amount of pain as I had when I went in.
A month or so later, I received a bill for almost $ 200. This was after insurance had made a payment to them for over $ 220. Really?!? If you’re trying to do the math at home, I’ll help you out — they billed over $ 400 for my visit. Seems a little steep, no?
I’m not making any judgments on the «Doctor“s chiropractical prowess… I’ve only visited a couple of them over the years, and am far from an expert. However, I will advise you that if you visit this clinic, get real clear on what services they’ll be performing, and what they’ll be charging for them.
