Why We Don’t Accept Insurance

1. Insurance based does not equal evidence based.

Over recent years, there has been a significant shift in chiropractic treatment. At Abshire Chiropractic Sports Center, we follow evidence-based guidelines that incorporate soft tissue work, therapeutic exercise, patient education, lifestyle modifications, taping, or injury reduction protocols. 

Most of what insurance programs cover are chiropractic adjustments. Although this is convenient for patients, it does not mean that adjustments will improve their Injury.

Since we do not take insurance we are able to keep our costs low. Our treatment plans are not restricted by insurance companies. The treatment is tailored to each patient, not what insurance allows. This results in a truly personalized care that has better outcomes. 

2. We keep our costs lower.

By not taking insurance we can keep our overall treatment costs low. Since we provide more than just chiropractic adjustments, our single treatment might have a higher price tag than other chiropractors. However, our model is set up in a way where you will require fewer visits, keeping the overall cost low. You will also learn how to help keep yourself out of pain and recurrence, decreasing the likelihood of future visits. 

3. Soft tissue/rehab based care almost always have co-payments.

Depending on your insurance provider, some, most, or all of the care listed below is not covered and will require an out-of-pocket payment. This out-of-pocket payment is often equal to or more than our overall treatment cost.

Not covered by most insurance:

• Soft tissue work

• Therapeutic exercise

• Patient education

• Taping
