If you or a loved one has recently been in a car accident, you may be thinking, “now what?” Fortunately, you are not alone. There is an average of 205 car crashes in Minnesota every day, and 40% of those result in an injury.
The next steps in a car accident can be frustrating and time-consuming. You’ll be working closely with your insurance company to make sure you, your passengers, and any other affected parties can return to life as usual as quickly as possible. While you navigate this process, it is easy to overlook minor aches and pains that oftentimes come with an accident, but this can have a drastic impact on your long-term health and well-being.
We encourage every patient who has been in a car accident to strongly consider chiropractic care as a fast and natural step toward recovery. Some patients may choose to pay for their treatment out of pocket, but the majority of people elect to leverage insurance coverage to pay for chiropractic treatment. While it is important to work with your insurance company to determine your complete coverage options, we have outline a few key factors in making sure your treatments are paid for:
Proving Expenses Associated with Accident
It is crucially important to begin treatment as soon as possible – both for your own health and recovery, and to prove your injuries were a direct result of an accident. For this reason, we encourage all patients to complete an evaluation as soon as possible.
Documenting Injuries & Treatments
Proper documentation of your symptoms, the type severity of the injury, and your treatment plan strengthens your personal injury claim. Be sure to select a chiropractor who is well-versed in this type of treatment, as your notes and records will be vital in ensuring coverage.
