FAQS
WHAT TYPES OF HEALTH INSURANCE DO YOU ACCEPT?
Dr Brennan is currently in network with Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of CA HMOs, and Aetna PPOs. Each plan is different and we might not be in network will all the plans listed above. The best way to verify is giving us a call to verify your insurance information. Also, depending on your insurance plan, certain services we provide might not be covered and will be billed separately. Dr Brennan will check your benefits and go over whats covered and what's not during your ROF. For insurances we are not in network with, we can provide you with a superbill with all necessary information for you to submit directly to your insurance for reimbursement (amount depends on your current plan and benefits).
IS CHIROPRACTIC SAFE?
Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints. Although chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects. The risks associated with chiropractic, however, are very small. During your Report of Findings, your chiropractor will go over these risks with you.
WHAT ARE YOUR PRICES?
We never charge for a consultation to discuss your health goals. If you have decided that you want to invest in your health you can schedule our initial exam for 149 dollars. The price of follow-up visits vary depending on what type of care you need and how frequently you are seen. Follow-up visit fees will be discussed at your report of findings.
