Reply to comment by SnooMemesjellies7591 in Misled by chiropractor, billed for services not rendered, neck injuries, should I take them to small claims court? by SnooMemesjellies7591

Chiropractors are notorious for this (particularly the one I worked for). They loooove adding the “extra spinal manipulation” charge on top of the standard 3-4 regions adjustment. My boss would usually write it off if a patient complained but otherwise would charge everyone that. I could go on and on about the shit they were doing.

Do you think I have grounds for taking the chiropractor to small claims court or disputing the credit card charges? I guess I was just confused why when billed insurance there are these extra charges but the cash rate is a standard $50-60 per visit.

It’s hard to say. I do know that once insurance has touched it it’s illegal to discount anything off of it. Or at least that’s what I’ve been told.

Anyways, I reached out to my insurance about why the insurance rate was significantly higher than cash rate.
