The
year has gotten off to a great start and I would like
to share with you some of the exciting changes that are
happening with Jenkintown Chiropractic Center.
First, I will have a new person working in the office,
Rachel, who will begin on March 5, 2007.As some
of you may know, Donna is moving to Florida, fulfilling
her lifelong dream.Please extend Rachel your warm welcome
as you call or come into the office.
Another big change is that I have become a Provider
for the Independence Blue Cross network of Personal Choice,
Personal Choice 65, Keystone Health Plan East, Keystone
65 and AmeriHealth PA/NJ/DEL. This means that if you
are covered by any of these plans, you will no longer
be responsible for a deductible at the beginning of each
year. You will now only have to pay a co-payment determined
by your specific plan.
However,
if you have Keystone HMO coverage, you will have to have
a referral from your primary physician before you can
see me. This can simply be faxed to my office at 215-885-7665
prior to your appointment with me.
If you have AmeriHealth or Keystone POS (Point of Service)
plan, you can do one of three things: 1) You can get a
referral from your primary care physician and pay the
co-pay 2) You can choose not to have a referral, but you
will be responsible for a deductible and co-pay, just
as you have been in the past or 3) You can simply not
use your coverage and be a cash patient for the reduced
cash price of $40 per visit.
If you have any questions about your plan, you can call
your insurance company for your chiropractic coverage.
They will tell you if you need a referral, how many visits
you are allowed, and the amount of your co-payment.
In addition to the insurance changes, I encourage you
to take advantage of the variety of Wellness Services
that are offered in my office. We now offer Functional
Metabolic Testing and Yoga.
Functional Medicine recognizes that health is more
than simply the absence of disease ~ health is vitality.
Metabolic Testing seeks to understand the underlying process
that contributes to the development of disease by simple
lab testing. The following areas can be addressed:
