Underestimating Soft Tissue Injuries: Understanding Their Seriousness
October 26, 2024How We Help Patients with Insurance, MVAs and Worker’s Compensation. At Blue Heron Chiropractic, we know that dealing with insurance can be overwhelming, especially after an injury. How we help patients with insurance, MVAs and Workers Compensation is by taking the time to explain. Our experienced front desk team is here to make it easier for you by helping you understand your insurance coverage—whether for general chiropractic care, motor vehicle accidents (MVAs), or Worker’s Compensation cases.
Understanding Your Coverage
We start by verifying your insurance benefits, explaining what services are covered, and reviewing any out-of-pocket costs like co-pays or deductibles. There are a lot of different types of insurance. Our goal is to help you understand the terms that get used a lot in trying to decipher insurance. If referrals are required, we’ll guide you through the process. Staff will discuss self-pay and discount options which may also be available.
Help with Motor Vehicle Accident Claims
If you’ve been in an accident, we can verify your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage or assist with third-party insurance claims. We also handle the necessary medical billing, so you don’t have to worry about paperwork while recovering. We will help you navigate known tricky spots in the process of coordinating your care and dealing with third parties.
Support for Workers’ Compensation Cases
Injured on the job? Our staff works directly with your Workers’ Compensation insurance provider to ensure that your chiropractic care is covered. We will provide necessary forms and help you protect your rights with your employer. We’ll also assist in filing claims and staying compliant with any state-specific requirements.
Coordination with Legal Teams
If you’re working with an attorney for personal injury or workers’ compensation, we’ll provide detailed treatment records and align your care plan with your legal strategy. Having worked in this arena for two decades, we can help you locate and identify a legal representative if that is desired. Doctor Sibilla has several levels of credentialing that make him available to qualify and act as an expert witness. Dr. Sibilla frequently is asked to provide second opinions even in cases where patients have seen another doctor and been released, or received an unfavorable Insurance Medical Examination (IME).
What if I already have insurance?
When you are involved in an injury case like a car accident or work injury, special insurance will likely apply. Our team will help you understand that, and take special care to keep the details clear and separate so that your benefits are not limited. Adequate reporting is something we focus on. Above all, rather than getting bogged down by the details, we will help you understand your injuries, and build a professional, customized treatment plan.
At Blue Heron Chiropractic, we believe that you should focus on healing, not paperwork. How we help patients with Insurance, MVAs and Worker’s Compensation is important to us. Contact us today to schedule an appointment. Let us handle the insurance details while you focus on getting better!
