Our chiropractors are covered by many of the major Insurance companies but it is always advisable to ring in advance and speak to a receptionist if you are thinking of using Insurance to check that your particular company is covered. Once we have confirmed that it is covered it is then a good idea to check with your Insurance company to make sure you are covered for ‘Chiropractic’ treatment and if so, whether there is an excess on your policy for which you would be responsible for paying yourself. Some Insurance companies such as Bupa or AXA also only pay a standard amount for each appointment which means that there can also be a shortfall on the amount paid back to us which would also have to be covered by the patient.
No, you can pay after the appointment.
Yes we accept all major debit/credit cards other than American Express . We also are happy to accept cash payments.
Yes if you feel more comfortable bringing a relative or friend with you of course you are very welcome to do so.
