Rates, Fees, and Treatment Options

Posted on by

Rates, fees, and treatment options will vary by level of your need and the comprehensiveness of care delivered.

Many options are available to fit perfectly with your situation!  Call us to discuss the possibilities with one of our doctors.

Insurance Rates     dollar-sign: rates fees, treatment options

• Rates for “in-network” insurance users (BlueCross BlueShield) will be determined by the benefit package of your specific policy with BCBS.

• Rates for Workers’ Compensation claims are determined by Minnesota state statute. Fees are not collected from the patient, but from the Workers’ Compensation Insurer.

• Rates for No-Fault/ Auto Injury and Personal Injury claims are determined by the number of services delivered to the patient. The patient is not billed unless a deductible amount is to be met before insurance pays, the claim limit has been reached, or certain non-covered products or services have been provided with patient consent.

• Rates for Medicare claims are partially determined by Medicare. Fees are collected from the patient, but Medicare will reimburse the policy-holder for charges for spinal adjustments.  Charges for services other than spinal adjustments are not covered by Medicare, eg, examinations, therapies, non-spinal adjustments.  Medicare does not pay for “maintenance care“.  The only service paid for by Medicare when seeing a doctor of chiropractic is spinal adjusting.  Examinations, therapies, and non-spinal adjustments are considered “non-covered services” when seeing a chiropractor.  Fees you pay for these services are considered non-reimbursable by Medicare and most Medicare replacement plans.  Fees for all services are below in the Recap section.

Medicare reimbursement rates for spinal adjusting change periodically, usually yearly.  In 2025, the rates are as follows:

Adjustments to 1-2 regions (eg, neck, midback): $25.19

Adjustments to 3-4 regions (eg, neck, midback, lowback): $36.62

Medicare will reimburse you 80% of this allowed amount when your condition fits Medicare’s guidelines for qualifying care.  If you have a “supplemental” insurance policy, and your policy recognizes our clinic as providers, it will cover the left-over 20% when Medicare pays the first 80%.

Treatment Options and Associated Fees

The following fees apply to customers who are not using any of the options listed above. They apply to those paying “out-of-pocket” and to those who may have an insurance policy, but are “out-of-network”.

 Note: for BlueCross BlueShield health insurance and Medicare (part B) Should your policy restrict its use for “maintenance” care (care not for “acute” symptoms or flare-ups of chronic conditions), your best choice for affordable care is our “Standard” treatment visit,  detailed below.

Examinations and Health History Fees range from $78 to $170, depending on the complexity of your condition. All new patients must receive an initial health history and examination before any therapeutic services can be provided. A physician needs to determine the nature of your complaints, and your health status, to aid the clinical decisions required for safe and effective treatments.

“Standard” Treatment Visit   A “standard” visit (as an established patient, having had an initial visit including a health history and examination) is $68 and includes the following services:

• chiropractic adjusting, of all levels needed

• soft tissue therapy

• may also include self-care instruction (eg, stretches and exercises), nutritional recommendations, and sometimes a referral to coordinate care with other specialists.

“Adjust Only” Treatment Visit    While most of our patients request a Standard Treatment Visit, you may choose to opt out of our muscle therapy work. The fee for this option is $56.

With this option (as an established patient having had an initial visit including a health history and examination) you will receive:

• chiropractic adjusting of all levels needed

will not include soft-tissue therapy.

• may also include self-care instruction (eg, stretches and exercises), nutritional recommendations, and sometimes a referral to coordinate care with other specialists.

“Abbreviated” Treatment Visit   An abbreviated visit as an established patient (having had an initial visit including a health history and examination) costs $40 and includes:

• chiropractic adjusting of all levels needed

will not include the soft tissue therapy. There will be minimal attention to extremities (ribs, hands, shoulders, feet, knees, TMJ, etc.) and minimal self-care instruction.

This care is for maintenance or wellness and will not be submitted to your insurance company. Insurance companies do not pay for “maintenance” or “wellness” care; however, this may be an HSA qualifying expense.

Note:  This option is often a good one for children.  Parents appreciate the affordability of having their children checked and adjusted with some regularity for spinal alignment.
