Payment Options

The Optimal Health & Wellness Center, chooses n ot to participate in the insurance process and therefore, respectfully, we do not provide any itemized bills.  From our first day we chose to focus on what is best for our patients, not on adhering to insurance industry contractual rules that would dictate how we should or should not treat a patient

 

Medicare is an excellent example of this as it totally disregards our training and stature as licensed physicians. Medicare only covers specific, hands-on, chiropractic manipulative therapy (CMT) treatment to the neck, thoracic, lumbar and sacral joints. It will not pay for examinations or x-rays when performed by a  licensed Chiropractic Physician.  And it rejects,claims filed by Chiropractic Physicians with charges for examinations or x-rays with the statement: "Not Medically Necessary".    

Medicare supplemental insurances see the phrase, “Not Medically Necessary”, and deem any charges so tagged as to not be included in their plan.   

We thoroughly examine all of our patients using orthopedic, neurological, x-ray and laboratory tests as appropriate for each individual patient and health issue.  We believe it is simply foolishness, if not dangerous, to offer assistance to a patient until the exact health need and diagnosis is established.  This is the standard of care in the health industry.   

Navigating the insurance maze is time consuming, expensive and frustrating for participating doctors.  For example, this October the industry is converting from a 17,000 code set (ICD-9-CM) for health diagnoses to a 47,000 code set (ICD-10-CM).  Tens of thousands of doctor’s offices, hospitals and clinics across the country are scrambling to adapt to this new coding system. 

Because of the insurance industry’s demands and continually lower reimbursements, the majority of insurance based doctors are now spending an average of 7 minutes with each patient.  More and more people are objecting to being treated like a piece of machinery on an assembly line.   

The Optimal Health & Wellness Center is a boutique practice where the patient and not the insurance industry comes first.  We are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality all natural care.  We are not interested in seeing your needs sacrificed to the demands of a machine or a corporation’s stock holders.
