Financial Transparency

Payment and insurance, without surprises.

Your exact out-of-pocket cost depends on your insurance deductible, copay structure, and clinical examination findings. We believe you should always know the estimated cost before care begins.

01 / Benefits

Using Commercial Insurance

Blue Cross Blue Shield, Auto & Regional Payers

The office verifies benefits before your appointment to reduce billing surprises:

  1. 01
    Provide card details over the phone: Call the office with your policy and group ID. Never email policy numbers over public web forms.
  2. 02
    We verify deductibles & copays: We confirm your in-network/out-of-network status and remaining annual deductible.
  3. 03
    Clear copay expectation at check-in: You know your expected share before Dr. Palmer begins your examination.

The Honest Standard: Benefit verification is a courtesy estimate, not an absolute guarantee of payment from your insurer. Final claims are adjudicated post-service.

02 / Federal protection

Self-Pay & Uninsured Patients

Federal No Surprises Act Protection

If you do not have insurance or prefer not to bill insurance, you have a federal right to a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) in writing:

  • Itemized Charges: Includes initial exam and any proposed adjustments clearly broken down.
  • Provided Before Care: Delivered in writing before your scheduled appointment time.
  • Federal Dispute Right: If your bill is $400+ higher than the GFE, you can dispute it federally.
Request a written GFE when scheduling: Call (517) 750-7790

Frequently Asked Financial Questions

What about Medicare?
Medicare Part B covers active spinal manipulation for subluxation. It does not cover initial exams, maintenance care, or X-rays. Our office will explain the available benefit information before care begins.
Can I use HSA or FSA funds?
Yes. Chiropractic care, examinations, and prescribed supports are eligible expenses under Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
