Many people have health insurance through their work, their partner, or their parents.  But many people don’t use the full value of that insurance.

Health insurance exists to help people pay for health-related expenses.  This includes preventative care, like getting your teeth cleaned regularly, having your eyes checked, and regular chiropractic maintenance.

Your health plan will give you a certain amount to put towards different categories of health care expenses.  Chiropractic care is included on the majority of plans.  Chiropractic maintenance can address small concerns before they become big problems.  It also helps your body to keep functioning at its best.

But health insurance dollars do not “carry over” from year to year.  Any value remaining on your plan when it re-sets is lost.

How do I get the best value from my health insurance?

As we head into the holiday season, most people’s lives get busier.  It’s easy to forget that there’s unused value in our health insurance.

Book appointments now, before the hustle and bustle around Christmas begins.

Don’t forget your partner or your children, who may be covered on your plan.  They need preventative care too.

What if I don’t know the details of my coverage?

Health insurance details are confidential between a person and their plan provider.  If you have any questions, you can call your insurance provider for answers.  Some questions might include:

How much coverage do I have for chiropractic care?

Are my partner and children covered on my plan?

How much have I already used this year?  How much do I have left?

Does my plan allow direct billing?

Is there a deductible on my plan?

When does my plan re-set?

Sheppard Chiropractic Centre offers direct billing for patients whose plans allow this service.

In conclusion, if you and your family don’t already have your chiropractic maintenance appointments booked for the end of the year, it’s time to call Sheppard Chiropractic and Laser Healing at (506) 635-8182 or (506) 847-7172.  We look forward to seeing you soon!
