Frequently Asked Questions
According to a 1999 ALTERNATIVE HEALTH SURVEY (CAM-complementary alternative medicine) - only 34% of all Americans have ever been to a Chiropractor or are currently going to a Chiropractor.
Why? Most of our patients come in because of low back pain, or they have shoulder
and upper back pain, or they have leg pain, or they have headaches, or they "tingle" in
places they shouldn't. Most of our new patients don't come to us first. They come after
a round or two of pain pills, etc. don't cover it up or surgery doesn't do it.
Most of our patients are pleased we can help their problem without drugs or surgery
and usually within a short period of time.

An assigned claim means the provider will accept the Medicare allowed amount as full payment for a given service. Medicare will make payment directly to the provider. The patient is responsible for the co-insurance, which is the difference between the Medicare allowed amount and the amount Medicare paid directly to the provider. The coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount.
For example, if Medicare approves payment to the provider for $100.00, Medicare would pay 80% ($80.00). It is the patient’s responsibility to pay the difference between what Medicare allowed and what Medicare paid. In this case, the patient would pay $20.00 (20% of the Medicare allowed amount), unless the have a secondary or supplemental insurance.
A non-assigned claim means the provider will not accept the Medicare allowed amount as full payment. Medicare will make payment to the patient. Most services are subject to“limiting charge’ regulations. The provider cannot charge the patient more than 115% of the Medicare allowed amount for services subject to limiting charge. It is the patient’s responsibility to pay the full billed amount to the provider for services that are not subject to limiting charges (such as non-covered Medicare services).
A participating provider has signed a participation agreement with Medicare to submit only assigned claims and follow all the regulations for assigned claims. The provider has agreed to accept as payment the Medicare allowed amount for a given service.
A nonparticipating provider has not signed a participation agreement with Medicare and can submit either assigned or non-assigned claims. This can be done on a claim-by-claim basis. A nonparticipating provider must follow all the regulations that apply to the type of claim submitted.
