In-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield. Easy benefits verification, direct billing, and chiropractic care under your plan.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Missouri (Anthem BCBS) is one of the most common insurance plans we work with at Advanced Wellness Chiropractic in Bridgeton, MO. We are in-network for BCBS PPO, HMO, Blue Advantage, Federal Employee Program (FEP), and most Medicare Advantage plans administered by BCBS. Being in-network matters: it means you pay the lower in-network rate and your visits count toward your in-network deductible.
Most BCBS plans include solid chiropractic benefits, typically covering 20 to 30 visits per calendar year for medically necessary care. Federal Employee Program plans usually cover more. Copays range from about $25 to $50 per visit depending on your plan. If you have a high-deductible plan, the full cost applies until you meet your deductible, then standard cost-sharing kicks in.
Before your first visit, our office verifies your BCBS benefits and explains exactly what you can expect to pay. There are no surprises and no balance billing. Call (636) 393-8390 to verify your plan and schedule an appointment.
Coverage depends on your specific BCBS plan, but most members have coverage for the following services when ordered as part of a chiropractic treatment plan:
Some services BCBS does not typically cover: shockwave therapy, standalone therapeutic massage, and certain regenerative modalities. We offer transparent cash-pay pricing for any non-covered services so you can decide what makes sense for your treatment plan.
Call (636) 393-8390 with your BCBS card handy. We verify benefits in a few minutes and let you know your copay, deductible status, and visit limits before scheduling.
Schedule your initial visit online or by phone. Same-day and next-day availability is common. Plan to spend 45 to 60 minutes for the first appointment.
After each visit, we submit your claim directly to BCBS. You pay only your copay or deductible portion at the time of service.
We monitor your benefit usage and let you know when you are approaching your visit limit so we can plan accordingly.
Yes. Most BCBS plans cover chiropractic services including adjustments, evaluations, and many therapeutic modalities. Coverage details depend on your specific plan: BCBS PPO, HMO, Blue Advantage, Federal Employee Program, and Medicare Advantage all have different copay, deductible, and visit-limit structures. We verify your benefits before your first visit so you know exactly what to expect.
Most BCBS plans cover 20 to 30 chiropractic visits per calendar year, though some plans cover unlimited medically necessary visits. Federal Employee Program plans typically cover more. Your specific visit limit is part of the benefits verification we do before treatment starts. If your plan has a cap, we can structure your care plan to make the most of the visits available.
BCBS chiropractic copays typically range from $25 to $50 per visit depending on your plan tier. Some HMO and Blue Advantage plans require copays under $25; high-deductible plans may have higher cost-share until the deductible is met. We tell you the exact copay during benefits verification so there are no surprises.
Missouri is a direct-access state, so legally you do not need a referral. Most BCBS PPO plans also do not require a referral to see a chiropractor. Some HMO and Blue Advantage plans do require a primary care referral for in-network coverage. We check this for you during benefits verification.
Yes. We are an in-network BCBS provider, which means you pay the lower in-network rate and your visits count toward your in-network deductible. Out-of-network providers can cost significantly more even if BCBS technically covers chiropractic. Verify the chiropractor is in-network before scheduling.
Most BCBS plans do not cover shockwave therapy because it is considered an advanced regenerative service. Therapeutic massage may be partially covered when performed alongside chiropractic care for a specific diagnosis, but coverage varies. We provide cash-pay options for shockwave therapy and any non-covered services with transparent pricing.
