Chiropractic Care After An Accident With No Out of Pocket Cost

​​Get Chiropractic Care Paid for Without Medical Insurance

Yes, you can see a chiropractor even if you don't have health insurance coverage. Many chiropractors offer flexible payment plans or accept alternative forms of payment, such as cash, check, or credit card. 

Additionally, many chiropractic clinics offer discounts to patients who pay in full at the time of their visit.

Should I see a chiropractor after a vehicle accident? The short answer is yes—a chiropractic adjustment can be incredibly helpful after a car accident. When you're in a car crash, your body is suddenly and violently jostled around, often causing serious damage to the spine and other parts of your body. 
An adjustment from a trained chiropractor will help realign the affected areas and release stuck or tightened muscles, giving you much-needed relief and helping to prevent long-term damage.

You Can Get Chiropractic Care at No Cost If You've Been in an Accident - Even if You Don't Have Health Insurance

Vehicle insurance coverage can vary depending on the policy, so it is important to check with your insurer about what types of treatment are covered. Some policies may include chiropractic care for injuries sustained in an accident, while others may not cover any medical treatment except for emergency medical services like ambulance transportation or hospitalization. 

To find out whether your vehicle insurance coverage includes chiropractic care, contact your insurance provider directly and ask about their policy regarding treatment for injuries sustained in a car accident.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or No-Fault Insurance

No-fault insurance covers medical expenses and loss of income for you and your passengers after a car accident, no matter who caused the crash. This type of coverage is the most common type of insurance, and all motorists must have this type of coverage.

Personal injury protection (PIP), on the other hand, is an optional automobile insurance coverage that offers additional coverage for medical expenses and loss of income after a car accident. Unlike no-fault insurance, PIP is not mandated by law.

In general, no-fault insurance is the most comprehensive type of automobile insurance coverage. It would cover your medical expenses and loss of income after an accident, even if you were at fault for causing the crash. PIP, on the other hand, offers additional coverage that specifically takes care of your medical expenses and loss of income, regardless of who caused the accident.

Both types of coverage can be helpful for paying for chiropractic care after an accident.

Conclusion

In general, auto insurance policies will cover the cost of a visit to a chiropractor in the event of an auto accident injury. This coverage is mandated by most state governments, so it is important to check your specific policy before seeking treatment. In some cases, you may need to work with your auto insurance provider to ensure that all costs are covered by your policy and not paid for out of pocket.
