Does Insurance Cover Prenatal Chiropractic in Jacksonville?

Most major insurance plans cover prenatal chiropractic under standard chiropractic benefits without a separate pregnancy exclusion. We accept Florida Blue, United Healthcare, Humana, Cigna, Florida Medicaid, and VA benefits, and we verify your specific plan before your first visit.

How Prenatal Visits Are Billed

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is billed using the same procedure codes as any other chiropractic visit. The diagnostic coding reflects the pregnancy-related condition being treated, whether that is pelvic girdle pain, SI joint dysfunction, or lumbar strain. The techniques used are modified for safety during pregnancy, but from a billing standpoint the visit is processed as a standard chiropractic encounter under your existing benefits.

One Common Concern

A patient in her second trimester called us worried that her Florida Blue PPO would not cover chiropractic during pregnancy. When we verified her plan, prenatal chiropractic was covered at the same specialist copay as any other chiropractic visit. Her benefits did not distinguish between pregnant and non-pregnant presentations. She had been delaying care for three weeks because of an assumption that turned out to be wrong. She came in regularly through her third trimester and delivered without the sacroiliac pain that had been limiting her from week 22 onward.

Florida Medicaid During Pregnancy

Florida Medicaid covers spinal manipulation for medically necessary treatment. Pregnancy-related back pain, pelvic dysfunction, and SI joint pain meet that standard in most cases. If you are covered by Medicaid during your pregnancy, call us and we will verify your eligibility and coverage before you come in.

Same-Day Appointments for Acute Pregnancy Pain

We understand that pregnancy pain can become severe quickly and we accommodate same-day appointments when availability allows. Call (904) 539-3352. 13770 Beach Blvd #4, Jacksonville FL 32224, accessible from the Beaches, Ponte Vedra, Southside, and Baymeadows areas.
