The Fees

Our initial fee is $75.00, which includes a detailed case history to help identify the cause of your problems. A thorough examination will include a physical, orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examination to determine how you can best be helped. This will determine if your problem is indeed a chiropractic case. X-ray images may be taken if deemed necessary.

Subsequent visits are $17.00 for adults and $13.00 for seniors and students.

Workers Compensation Board and some private health insurance plans also cover chiropractic care.

Since chiropractic care does not involve drugs or surgery of any kind, it can be more cost-efficient than traditional medical care.

Insurance Information

If you've suffered an injury secondary to an automobile accident and if the other party (vehicle) was at fault, then all money's paid or owed for chiropractic treatment or therapy treatment will be eventually reimbursed to you or paid directly to the treating doctor. However, reimbursement is not given immediately nor is treatment paid only by the other parties (vehicle) insurance. Reimbursement for care has a number of sources each with specific rules. The primary payers include:

1. Alberta Health Care Insurance.
2. Your car insurance policy (called "Section B").
3. The liable (other) car insurance company.
4. Other insurance coverage you may have (e.g. at work or your spouses work policy)

More details regarding who pays for treatment…

1) Alberta Health Care insurance (if current) for chiropractic care is paid immediately, directly to the Doctor. The amount paid per visit to a Doctor of Chiropractic is approximately $13.00 to a maximum of $200.00 a year (16 visits).

2) Your car insurance policy has a section called "Section B". This policy covers $500.00 in chiropractic services, provided you do not have private insurance (#4 above). To open a Section B claim, you have to call the insurance adjuster handling your case and let them know you have commenced chiropractic care at our office. After you receive appropriate chiropractic treatment and prove payment for the treatment received , a reimbursement for up to $500.00 will be made directly to you. If you have any questions or need help with the forms, contact Janice at the office and she will be more than glad to help you. Message Therapy cost is covered (reimbursable) by Section 'B' only if it is recommended by your medical doctor, in writing.

3) The liable (at fault) car insurance company (the other driver's insurance) is responsible for moneys paid or bills outstanding for any treatment you chose and receive that is above the Section 'B' coverage limit or, is not covered by Section 'B'. In the majority of cases, they will not pay your bills until the day you and your lawyer settle with them (sign closing papers). This should not be done until you are nearly 100% recovered and remain so. You do not want to accumulate treatment bills after you've settled your claim.

4) Private Insurance includes Blue Cross, etc. Review your policy for details. Many times chiropractic care or massage therapy is covered, with some limitations. Know that this insurance coverage comes before Section B insurance coverage.
