We want you to know that a core belief of our practice is to provide you with the best possible value in Chiropractic treatment. This means we avoid patchwork treatment that would soon need to be redone. We used the finest possible treatments and techniques to provide you with the greatest possible resolution of your problem. We want you to have the peace of mind that your treatment has been done well.

IF YOU HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE

Most insurance companies offer Chiropractic benefits due to studies showing the efficacy of Chiropractic Care in treating a variety of health conditions. Dealing with insurance can be complicated and confusing at best. Our office provides insurance verification to determine if you have Chiropractic benefits and what portion of your care the insurance company will cover. Or if you prefer just simply call the customer service number on your card and ask the representative if your insurance plan covers chiropractic care.

Few health insurance companies require Chiropractors to be on their insurance panels in order for your treatment to be covered. Although, many insurances give slightly better coverage when Chiropractors are on their panels. This means you pay less for your treatment. The list below contains all the insurance panels Dr. Matthew Todd is currently on. Do not worry if you don’t see your insurance company on the list because often health insurances do not require Chiropractors to be on their panels in order for your treatment to be covered. If you have any questions about your insurance coverage call our office at (207) 370-8516 and we will check your Chiropractic benefits at no charge.

A REMINDER ABOUT INSURANCE IN PORTLAND

You and your insurance company have an agreement that sometimes does not cover the best-prescribed treatments. Insurance companies don’t base your benefits on what you need; they base it on what payout they can profitably provide based on how much you or your employer has paid them.

If your insurance company rejects a claim and refuses to pay for a service, it is not a reflection of how important the service is. It is based on a master contract drawn up between you or your employer and the insurance company. Be careful that you don’t allow your health to be compromised by the profit motives of an insurance company! It’s your injury, your health, your future.

If you or your employer is putting very little money into the insurance “piggy-bank”, you will have poor coverage. In this scenario, chiropractic care may not even be covered. However, you will be happy to know that chiropractic care can be affordable. We offer a 40% discount to patients who pay with cash, check, or credit. This discount is only available if payment is received on the same day the service/treatment is rendered. Billing insurance is cumbersome at best and therefore takes a lot of time and money so with cash payments we like to pass the savings onto you.

IF YOU HAVE NO HEALTH INSURANCE

Patients who pay the same day of service will receive a substantial discount. Billing insurance is cumbersome at best, requiring a lot of time and expensive software, so we like to pass the savings onto to patients who pay the same day of service.

The total cost of your Chiropractic Care depends on how much treatment your particular case needs. Once Dr. Matthew Todd, D.C. performs a thorough history and physical exam he will be able to determine the course of care you will need.

We have very flexible payment plans that most people can afford. Most of our cash-paying patients make arrangements to be on a reduced payment plan. Here’s why:

  1. You don’t need to clear your balance at the end of the month.
  2. You can get your care now and pay at your own pace.
  3. You can choose the amount you pay every 2 weeks, typically between $50 and $75.
  4. You have less financial stress while you’re getting better.
