Workers Comp Chiropractor in Bridgeton, MO
Direct billing to workers' compensation carriers for authorized care, full documentation, and the care you need to get back to work.
We Accept Workers Compensation
If you were injured on the job in Bridgeton, St. Ann, Maryland Heights, Hazelwood, or anywhere in the greater St. Louis area, Advanced Wellness Chiropractic is here to help. We are a workers comp provider and handle the full documentation requirements that workers' compensation cases demand. Our office submits progress reports, treatment notes, and outcome documentation directly to the workers comp adjuster on your case so you can focus on recovery.
The most common work injury cases we treat include low back injuries from lifting, shoulder injuries from overhead work, neck injuries from falls, repetitive strain injuries like carpal tunnel and tennis elbow, and whiplash from work-related motor vehicle accidents. Whether you work in a warehouse, on a construction site, in healthcare, or at a desk, our team is equipped to handle your case.
We bill the workers comp carrier directly for authorized care. A workers' compensation claim does not guarantee coverage or a zero balance, so discuss your responsibility before treatment. Call (636) 393-8390 to discuss your case or to start the authorization process.
In Missouri, the employer has the right to select the treating healthcare provider for workers' compensation care and usually delegates that choice to its insurer. You may choose a different provider at your own expense. Ask your employer or insurer to authorize care with our office before arranging nonemergency treatment you expect workers' compensation to pay for.

How the Workers Comp Process Works
Report your injury immediately
Tell your employer about the injury as soon as it happens. The Missouri Department of Labor says that failing to report an injury to your employer within 30 days may jeopardize your workers' compensation benefits.
Confirm the authorized provider
Your employer or its insurer selects the treating provider. Ask for authorization to see our office before nonemergency care you expect workers' compensation to cover. We can help confirm that authorization.
Initial evaluation and treatment
Dr. JC performs a thorough exam, documents your injury, and develops a treatment plan. We submit the initial report to the workers comp carrier.
Ongoing care with progress reporting
We provide treatment and submit progress reports to the adjuster. Continued care depends on the adjuster's authorization.
Return to work or MMI
When you reach maximum medical improvement, we document your final status, restrictions if any, and recommendations. You return to work or transition out of active treatment.

Coverage is decided through your workers' compensation claim, not by our office.

In Missouri, the employer has the right to select the treating healthcare provider for workers' compensation care and usually delegates that choice to its insurer. You may choose a different provider at your own expense. Ask your employer or insurer to authorize care with our office before arranging nonemergency treatment you expect workers' compensation to pay for. We can help confirm authorization. Seek emergency care immediately when needed.
The length of treatment depends on the severity of the injury, the rate of recovery, and what the employer or its insurer authorizes. We send progress reports to the adjuster, and continued care depends on that authorization.
Contact the Missouri Division of Workers' Compensation or a Missouri workers' compensation attorney about a denied claim. A denial does not automatically make the patient responsible for charges or make private insurance available. Any proposed billing arrangement must be reviewed against the claim facts, applicable law, and coverage before it is offered.
That depends on what the employer or its insurer authorizes for your claim. Ask the adjuster on your claim before any imaging is scheduled.
