Dr. Allan Horowitz & Associates
CHIROPRACTIC ~ ACUPUNCTURE ~ SPORTS MEDICINE
Our Fees
The cost of being treated by a doctor of Chiropractic is considered very reasonable when compared to other health professionals' fees. Fees depend on the patient (discounts for seniors, students, children, and those in financial distress) and on the condition being treated. Fees should be discussed with the receptionist upon arrival in the office or by telephone in advance. NO PATIENT WILL EVER BE REFUSED TREATMENT BECAUSE OF INABILITY TO PAY OUR FEES. SINCE 1982 WE HAVE NEVER TURNED AWAY ONE SINGLE PATIENT WHO REQUIRED CHIROPRACTIC CARE BUT COULDN'T PAY. SOME SUITABLE ARRANGEMENT WAS ALWAYS WORKED OUT TO EVERYONE'S SATISFACTION.
- Your first visit: Consultation with the doctor, initial examination, and first treatment: $50-$120 (usually $90.00 for most conditions)
- Each subsequent treatment: $27- $37
- Extended treatment: $60 (in certain rare cases where extra treatment is required on each visit)
- Re-exam: $20- $60 (required when an existing patient hasn't been to the office in a long time)
- Acupuncture: $45
- Custom Orthotic Devices: $475
- Custom Orthotic Devices with shoes: $600- $650
- X-rays: Can be arranged free of charge through the general medical practitioner, or the patient may be sent to a local x-ray facility (a fee may be charged depending on the x-rays required).
Method of Payment
We accept cash, personal cheque (with proper identification), debit card, MasterCard and Visa
Insurance
Most private insurance pays for chiropractic care, acupuncture, and orthotics. Some plans pay 100% of these fees. Some pay only a portion of the fees. Please check with your plan administrator before your first visit to our office. We do not bill the insurance company directly except in cases where it is W.S.I.B. or motor vehicle injury (see below). You can get a receipt from our receptionist and submit this to your insurance company for reimbursement.
W.S.I.B.
We are fully registered with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (W.S.I.B.). If your injury is a result of a workplace incident and it is a recent injury that you reported, you will be covered for your chiropractic care. All of your fees will be directly billed to the W.S.I.B. and you will not be charged anything. All forms and documentation (initial reports, functional abilities forms, back to work letter, etc.) will be completed by our office staff.
Car Accident Injuries
If your injuries resulted from a motor vehicle accident all of your fees will be billed directly to your insurance company. It doesn't matter if you were the driver, a passenger, or a pedestrian. It doesn't matter if you were found at fault, or if you were an innocent "victim". The laws in Ontario state that all reasonable and necessary therapy shall be paid for by your insurance company. If you don't have an insurance company there is a provision in the law to have another company pay for your therapy. We are knowledgeable in this field and will assist you through the "red tape" to make sure that you get the therapy you need without having to pay for it yourself. You do not need to see a lawyer. We have all the forms and are well versed in the proper procedures involved in claiming benefits after your motor vehicle accident. You do not need to pay us first and then wait to be paid back from your insurance company. We will bill your insurance company directly and there will never be a fee charged to you.
