Medicare

What is Medicare?

Medicare is a social insurance program administered by the United States government, providing health insurance coverage to people who are aged 65 and over; to those who are under 65 and are permanently physically disabled or who have a congenital physical disability; or to those who meet other special criteria.

Are Chiropractic Services Covered?

Medicare will pay for chiropractor’s manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation. Additionally, manual devices used by chiropractors in performing manipulation of the spine are also covered.

 Do I Qualify for Chiropractic Services?

Your chiropractic treatment is covered by Medicare if:

• You have a significant health problem in the form of a neuro-musculoskeletal condition that needs treatment (such as pain, inflammation, swelling, leg and foot numbness, etc.)
• You have a subluxation of the spine
• Manual manipulation has been recommended for improvement of your condition

 Is Medicare covered at Bain De Vie?

Yes.  In many cases, the services provided at Bain De Vie may be the primary method of treatment you need.  Referral of patients to the appropriate health care provider will occur when our care plan is not suitable for the patient’s condition or the condition warrants co-management in conjunction with other members of the health care team.  The ultimate goal is to improve your health and quality of your life with the most appropriate form of care you require.
