Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept insurance at NC Spine & Sports?

The good news for you is NO. How is that good news you ask? Navigating the world of health insurance can be complex, and we aim to make it as straightforward as possible. In todays insurance world many of the services we perform are not covered by insurance including dry needling, cupping, graston, ktape and more. Even exams and adjustments are minimally covered only when considered medically necessary for acute care leaving maintenance care also non covered. With high deductibles, copays, and preauthorization denials we researched the best options to save you money. What we found even surprised us and it was more cost effective to not accept most insurances. We have lower costs operating our clinic not being in the insurance business thus we are able to pass the savings on to you. By partnering with a national membership based discount plan called CHUSA (Chiropractic Health USA) we are able to pass along a significant savings off of our normal rates. Our knowledgeable staff will discuss your options before your first visit, and we have posted all of our rates on our website ensuring complete clarity. We do accept Medicare Part B insurance and some Personal Injury coverages. We do not participate with any Medicare Advantage plans.
