“Do You Take My Insurance?”
Doylestown Chiropractor Health Insurance
 
This is one of the first questions that is usually asked when a new patient calls our office says Dr. Jeff McQuaite, a chiropractor in Doylestown.  To be honest, this is not as easy to answer as you would think.  While we work with most major insurances, there are so many different plans out there, and so many different policies within those plans, it is very difficult to say immediately.
While most patients think that their “health” insurance helps them to get healthy, most are surprised by how little their policy actually covers in the way of health and wellness.  I feel that the term “health insurance” is actually a misnomer.  What I feel that most people have and what I see in my practice is that most people have “sick” or “catastrophic” insurance, where God forbid you need surgery or are admitted to the hospital, instead of a $100,000 bill, you will have a $10,000 bill.

 
We routinely see patients who think that they have “good” insurance that covers everything.  To be honest, most “good’ insurance plans these days have $40, $50, or even $75 co-pays in addition to those that have several thousand dollars of “in-network” deductibles!  With these high copays and deductibles, while you may technically have chiropractic coverage, there may actually be NO re-imbursement from the insurance carrier to the doctor.
So to answer the question, “Do you take my insurance?”  The answer is yes, but…..!  What we do at our office that is different than most offices in the area is that your first visit is $69, which includes an exam, 2-xrays, treatment and your second visit.  On that first visit, we will submit your insurance card to our billing company and on the second visit, we will go over your policy and everything that may or may not be covered.  At that time, we will decide what is in your best interests before we proceed.  If you have these high co-pays, high deductibles or even no insurance, you will be surprised how reasonable are fees our, usually no more than $40 a visit and at times considerably less!
If you would like more information or would like to make an appointment, please call our office today and someone from my team will be more than happy to help you.

Headache Sufferers, Let's Do The Math!


The "average" headache sufferer has 15 headaches a month and takes 1000mg of OTC medications (approximately 2-4 pills) for these headaches.  This "average" person has been suffering for about 7 years:
  • 1000mg x 15 headaches/month = 15,000 mg/month
  • 15,000mg/month x 12 months = 180,000mg/ year
  • 180,000mg/year x 7 years = 1,260,000mg of OTC pain killers
  • 1,260,000mg = approximately 3 pounds of OTC medications!


So, let me ask you, if 3 POUNDS of medication has not gotten rid of
your headaches, how much more will it take?!?

Let us show you how to safely and effectively get rid of
headaches and migraines without the use of medications!

Numerous studies have shown the benefits of chiropractic adjustments with patients suffering from headcahes and migraines:
  •  The Boline Study: 2 groups of headache sufferers, half went to a chiropractor, half took amiltriptyline, a prescription medication.  After 6 weeks, the chiropractic patients experienced almost no side effects and they continued to report fewer headaches when treatment ended.
  •  Duke University Study: Showed that chiropractic care resulted in almost immediate improvement, fewer side effects and longer lasting relief of headaches than precribed medication.
  •  Journal of Manipulative & Physiological Therapeutics: A study performed at Institute of Medical Biology, University of Odense, Denmark, showed that patients under chiropractic care used 36% prescription medication, their headache frequency decreased by 70% and the intensity decreased by 36%!
Contact our office so that you may begin living free from headaches and migraines!

Doylestown Chiropractor Announces "Adopt A Family" Holiday Program


This Christmas season, Dr. Jeff and his team at AzzatoriChiropractic-Doylestown are partnering with the Bucks County Opportunity Council on behalf of their yearly "Adopt-a Family" program. Starting November 14th and finishing December 5th, our office will be collecting gifts requested by a family in need of assistance at this special time of year. We are asking for your assistance in this endeavor. We will display a "giving tree", with ornaments detailing certain items for each member of the family. All you have to do is take an ornament, purchase the gift, and bring it unwrapped to the office, it's that easy. If you would prefer, cash donations will be accepted and we will buy the presents on their wish checklists.
 
In addition to with the donation drive, we are offering a New Patient Special at the "Adopt-a-Family" rate of $ 20, which will be donated to the Opportunity Council to assist the project. This consists of a consultation with Dr. Jeff McQuaite, 2 x-rays, and treatment. What a perfect time to refer your friends and family to our office!

Our "Adopted" family is a single mom, 29 years old with 3 children; 6 year old daughter, 3 year old boy and a month 4 old son.

We are glad to be one of THE BEST chiropractic offices around, and we want to share our blessings we have been given this year with those less fortunate. We trust we can count on your generosity to help us as we look forward to a fantastic result!
