Does Heritage Wellness Center offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Heritage Wellness Center offers direct billing to most major private insurance companies such as Canada Life, Sun Life, Manulife, Green Shield, and others. Patients are advised to bring their insurance card or details and confirm their specific coverage with their insurer, as plans and coverage amounts vary. Patients remain responsible for any co-payments or amounts not covered by their plan.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Chiropractor in BC?

No, in BC chiropractors are primary contact healthcare professionals. Patients can book an appointment directly without a referral from a medical doctor. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement, so it's recommended to check your insurance policy.

Will I need to get X-rays before starting chiropractic care?

X-rays are not routinely required for every patient. Dr. Stelting will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine if imaging is necessary. Imaging is usually recommended to rule out serious conditions such as fractures or pathology, or if the patient's condition isn't improving with conservative care, always following established guidelines to minimize radiation exposure.

Is chiropractic care covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?

In BC, MSP provides partial coverage for chiropractic services through a limited number of visits per year for eligible individuals, such as those on Premium Assistance. Most patients will have a co-payment. It's important to verify your MSP eligibility and coverage details, and also check your private insurance plan.

Is chiropractic treatment, especially an adjustment, painful?

Adjustment procedures are typically not painful. You may hear a 'pop' or 'crack', which is the release of gas from the joint, not bones cracking. Some individuals might feel mild soreness afterward, similar to after a workout, but this usually subsides quickly. Dr. Stelting ensures your comfort during every session.
