Chiropractic Care In-Network Insurance Provider – Lightening the Financial Burden for Patients

March 27, 2020

Insurance can be a tricky subject for some. One question we frequently get here at our Athens and Loganville offices is the question, “Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?” The answer is NO. You can call us directly and no referral is necessary. 

While here at Grand Oak Healthcare, we are considered an in-network facility for those seeking out chiropractic care, there are, unfortunately, many places that do not take insurance for chiropractic care. Before we talk about the reason, it’s vital to know the difference between the terms in-network and out-of-network.


Chiropractic Care: In-Network Insurance Provider Defined


When it comes to insurance, there are two terms that you must understand: in-network and out-of-network. While most insurances have varying rates for certain procedures, such as chiropractic care, these rates can vary even more depending on whether a care provider is considered in-network or out-of-network. 


In-Network Insurance Provider


When your insurance provider talks about in-network they are referring to those medical providers or companies that have a contract to work with the insurance provider to give patients coverage at specific rates.


Out-of-Network Insurance Provider 


If you visit a provider or accept a service that is considered out-of-network, then you are dealing with providers who have not agreed to a contract to work with your particular insurance provider. This typically results in patients having to pay more than they would, should they have visited someone in-network. 


We Encourage You to Use Your Health Insurance Benefits


At Grand Oak Health Healthcare we understand that during these trying times your insurance premiums grow higher and higher each month. Therefore, we want to be able to allow you to fully utilize those benefits and lighten the financial burden you might be facing. We feel it is our duty to our patients to allow them the most access for the least amount of cost. We will always file any out of network benefits for our patients and provide affordable cash rates if insurance is not available. Grand Oak Healthcare works with the Community Care program within the Veterans Administration providing free care to our Veterans.

Herniated vs Bulging Discs: What Is the Difference?

June 10, 2022
There is a difference between a herniated disc and one that is bulging. At Grand Oak Health Care in Athens and Loganville, we take a careful look at your back to determine if you have any herniated or bulging discs before treatment is provided. Herniated vs Bulging Discs Your vertebral discs are cushions that help keep your spine in alignment. Over time, these discs can start to bulge or suddenly become herniated because of an injury. These discs are fluid-filled sacs, with an outer covering and a jelly-like center. If a disc is herniated, it is torn and leaks fluid into your body. With a bulging disc, the disc is not doing a good job supporting your spine, but it does not leak. Spinal Decompression for Bulging Discs When you see a chiropractor for pain related to a bulging disc, spinal decompression strategies can provide relief. The chiropractor looks at your spinal column and determines where you have any areas of compression. Light stretching, decompression techniques, massage, and ultrasound therapy can help ease the pressure on discs that are compressed and bulging. What to Expect from Chiropractic Care As part of any wellness plan with a chiropractor, you can expect an assessment to determine what is causing your back pain. The treatment plan is developed to meet your specific needs. You will see the chiropractor several times a week during the acute phase of treatment and slowly taper down your visits as you heal.
