Auto Accident Wellness Care Treatment
Have you recently been in a car accident? Are you suffering from injuries sustained due to a car accident regardless if it was your fault? Is the insurance company contacting you to settle already?
Unfortunately, motor vehicle accidents are common and happen at varying speeds. Whether you were on the highway or got rear ended in stopped traffic, serious injuries can occur. Sometimes injuries and subsequent pain can take days to weeks to manifest following accidents. If injuries are left untreated, they can become worse or even turn into chronic issues. Chiropractic care can help reduce pain, improve mobility and reduce the need for surgeries and medications. The body has an amazing ability to heal, but we want your body to heal correctly. At Moyer Total Wellness we follow an evidenced based 4-Step Approach to treating the spine and extremities. During motor vehicle accidents it is common to injure the spine as well as other joints including shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. Some common injuries we see following car accidents include: whiplash, headaches, spinal ligament and disc damage, damage to the spinal facet joints, and nerve root injuries that can cause numbness, tingling or weakness to the arms and/or legs known as radiculopathy.
The quality of your care matters to us at Moyer Total Wellness and the chiropractors here are committed to finding the source of your injuries and pain. Thorough examination is important in figuring out which tissues are injured, the severity of your injuries and if imaging may be required. This will help in diagnosing injuries, setting up a care plan and providing the treatment to best help you. We work directly with lawyers and an insurance billing company to make sure you are protected. Visit us at Moyer Total Wellness if you have been injured in a car accident.

How Do I Know If I Have Insurance Coverage?
- If you have Medical Pay, your individual coverage allotment is available to pay your medical bills (please contact your insurance company directly before your first appointment to find out how much med-pay you have). Your coverage amount will vary depending on your policy, and is not something we can find out for you.
- You may hire an attorney to represent you in the case that you were not at fault and anticipate coverage from a third party.
- You may pay cash out of pocket for all recommended treatment.
What Do I Need to Bring to My First Appointment?
Please bring the following information with you:
- Driver’s License (to make a photo copy)
- The Name of Your Insurance Company
- Your Claim # (with your insurance company – regardless of who is at fault, all bills will be sent directly to your insurance company
- Your Claims Representative Contact Information (name, phone, fax, etc…) – regardless of who is at fault, we need your claims rep at your insurance company

- Though there is additional paperwork required for all auto insurance clients, you can get started by completing our intake forms here.
What is NOT Covered by Insurance?
Gratuity is not included in our medical rates and is not paid by your insurance company. Therefore, we highly encourage you to tip your massage therapist as per usual (18-25% of the normal full price of a massage). It is not customary to leave your chiropractor, acupuncturist, rolfer, or fitness instructor a tip. If you are working with a lawyer or are planning to, we recommend leaving gratuity on a card or through Venmo, or tracking. your cash tips. It may be worked into part of your settlement later, if appropriate.
Upgrades
Medical massage is billed for up to 60 minutes per visit. You are welcome to schedule a long massage with the understanding that anything over an hour is your financial responsibility, is due at the time of service, and will not be billed to your insurance. If you would like a 90 minute massage, the 30 minute upgrade will be the patient’s responsibility and will be charged at a rate of $32 per 30 minute upgrade. Specialty massage upgrades will also be charged to the patient directly.
Late Cancellations
As we are unable to bill your insurance for partially or full missed appointments, we do require a 24-hour notice for cancellations and rescheduling. Missed appointments will be billed directly to the patient for the full amount of the service. If you show up late to an appointment, any missed time may also be charged to you directly, as we are only able to bill your insurance company for time and services that have been completed.
Not Covered
We do require that every client utilizing insurance for any and all wellness care at Moyer Total Wellness, sign a waiver that states the patient is ultimately responsible for his or her bill and any portion of the bill not covered by insurance.
How to Prepare for Your First Appointment?
When scheduling your first Auto Insurance appointment (even if you are a regular patient of ours), please inform the front desk of your intention to use Auto Insurance to pay for your appointments. This allows us to schedule you for the correct appointment with the best team member for your needs.
We require that you see one of our chiropractors for your initial office visit, even if you have a note from another doctor or don’t plan on using us for chiropractic care. The chiropractor will gather your insurance information, assess your injuries, treat you as needed, and put a treatment plan in place for all wellness care at Moyer Total Wellness.
At the time of booking, we will send you an email with the paperwork we need you to fill out before your first appointment. If you are unable to complete the paperwork, please arrive to your first appointment 20-30 minutes early.
Though there is additional paperwork required for all auto insurance clients, you can get started by completing our intake forms here.
How Many Visits Will I Need?
This varies greatly depending on your pain and injuries. At your first appointment, your Chiropractor will assess your injuries and put an initial treatment plan in place. Your chiropractor will continue to assess and adjust the treatment plan over time as you progress.
The Accident Wasn't My Fault, What Do I Do?
Regardless of who is at fault, we will bill your auto insurance company directly (State Farm, Progressive, Allstate, Geico, etc…). If someone else was at fault, your insurance company will negotiate on your behalf for third party coverage of your medical bills.
Depending on the severity of your accident and care required after, it may be beneficial for you to hire an attorney to assist with the process.
