If it sounds fishy just stay away.
Recently our office was contacted by an accident victim. She had been rear ended by a drunk driver and suffered neck and back injuries. In her search for medical care she came across a chiropractor website that mentioned that he specialized in “accident cases.” She called his office.
He immediately began encouraging her to file a lawsuit and to sign up with “his” lawyer. He wanted to get her in to start her on the “MedPay program” which is chiropractor-speak for “let’s get the treatment until your car insurance medical benefits run out.” When she did not accept his offer at first he called her several times over the next week.
Sorry to all you legitimate chiropractors out (and there are many) there but I hear the story at least twice a week. Let me repeat my advice here:
Any healthcare provider who bases your treatment on how much medical payments insurance you have on your car insurance policy should be fired before he is hired.
Any healthcare provider who says that you should see “his” lawyer should get the same boot. Unfortunately, some health care providers see car accident victims as an “opportunity.” (I know, I know-so do some lawyers-I’m critical of them as well).
the Chinese Chiropractor that we have in our village is really good in treating my sprained ankles.:-”
