Spinal decompression cost and insurance

What affects the cost

• Length of your plan. A typical plan is about 20 visits over 6 weeks, but yours is set after the exam.
• Your insurance. Coverage for decompression varies a lot from plan to plan. Some plans cover parts of a visit, like an exam or chiropractic care, but not decompression itself.
• Other care in your plan, such as exercises or other therapies, if recommended.

Fees and payment options are discussed at the free consultation, before you commit to anything.

Insurance

Insurance coverage varies by plan. Call (801) 491-8688 and the office will check your benefits before you start.

Bring your insurance card to your consultation, or have it handy when you call.

Medicare

Medicare Part B covers manipulation of the spine by a chiropractor when it's medically necessary to correct a subluxation. It doesn't cover other services or tests ordered by a chiropractor (Medicare.gov). That means decompression may not be covered by Medicare. Ask the office what you'd pay before starting.

Payment options

Ask about payment options when you call. Fees and payment options are covered at your consultation, so you know your expected cost before you start.

What the free consultation covers

The consultation is a chance to talk about your pain and history, ask questions, and find out whether decompression is worth considering for you, with no obligation to start treatment. If you have an MRI, bring it: the clinic also offers a free MRI review.

Questions you may want to ask:

• How many visits do you expect I'll need, and why?
• What will my total cost be, and what will my insurance pay?
• What happens if I'm not improving partway through?
• Are there other options I should consider first?

Call (801) 491-8688 to ask about cost and coverage.
