BCBS Financial Policy
I am very happy to accept and continue accepting BCBS insurance plans!
Since insurance treats chiropractic a little bit differently than most other medical professions, and changes in their policies is not uncommon, I want you to be fully informed and educated on my office policy regarding these specific plans.
My goal as your chiropractor is to provide high quality chiropractic and physical therapy, in an un-rushed, unstressed environment. I give my patients my undivided attention for the full length of their visit and perform only the most effective and clinically proven techniques (hands on therapy combined focused rehab exercise instruction).
Despite negotiating with BCBS , at this point the ONLY one-on-one chiropractic services that they cover is a brief procedure called “spinal manipulation” and one “unit” of EITHER exercise instruction OR massage OR stretching. This caps doctor-patient time to about 10-15 minutes.
For a patient coming in for pain, discomfort or dysfunction, it may be difficult to make a significant impact in just a 15 minute visit. For that reason, 30 minute appointments are my standard appointment time. This allows time for thorough hands on treatment, appropriate exercise/rehab instruction, and time to ask and answer questions.
Since a 30 minute visit is not fully covered by BCBS, rather than simply stop accepting the insurance, I want to give BCBS patients an option to lengthen their visit for an additional $20. Of course this is not a perfect solution, but it does make appropriate and high quality care accessible and affordable.
(Please note, this additional $20 is only applied to follow up visits, at this time BCBS does cover the initial exam, so on your first visit your responsibility is your normal copay/coinsurance.)
Insurance related issues are confusing by nature, so if you have any questions please call me at 516-993-9582, I am very happy to explain, very happy to clarify, and very happy to continue being your provider of high quality musculoskeletal care.
Thank you!

Dr. Ben is very happy to accept Medicare and all supplements.
Since Medicare treats chiropractic a little bit differently than most other medical professions, Dr. Ben wants you to be fully informed and educated on his office policy regarding Medicare.
Medicare pays for 80% of “covered services” and usually a supplement pays for the other 20%.
The ONLY chiropractic service that Medicare “covers” is a very brief procedure called a “spinal manipulation” or an “Adjustment”.
Unfortunately, Medicare does NOT “cover”:
1. Evaluations/Exam
2. Massage
3. Stretching
4. Heat
5. Rehabilitation exercises
6. Traction
And since these are NOT “covered services” according to Medicare, your supplement will not cover them at all either.
Dr. Ben will provide you with high quality care that will likely include these “non-covered services” which, unfortunately, are not covered by Medicare or the supplement.
For that reason there is a fee for your initial visit of $50 visit and each follow up is $40. This allows Dr. Ben to continue treating Medicare patients, and also be compensated for the care that he provides.
Our medical system is far from perfect, and unfortunately the burden gets passed onto the providers and the patients. Medicare understands it is flawed in this instance.
In fact, the below is a form FROM MEDICARE, showing why chiropractors are allowed to charge for services that Medicare will not cover.
The GOOD NEWS is that there are no other limitations or stipulations. There is NO CAP on the number visits and you DO NOT NEED A REFERRAL for visits. With any questions or concerns, please call the office at 516-993-9582.
Thank you!

I am very happy to accept GHI/Emblem insurance!
Since insurance treats chiropractic a little bit differently than most other medical professions, I want you to be fully informed and educated on his office policy regarding this specific plan.
I aim to provide high quality chiropractic and physical therapy in my office, in an un-rushed, unstressed environment. I give patients my undivided attention for the full length of their visit and perform only the most effective and clinically proven techniques (hands on therapy combined focused rehab exercise instruction).
The ONLY one-on-one chiropractic services that GHI covers is a brief procedure called “spinal manipulation”. This is an very brief procedure taking about 3-5 minutes. As a doctor that cares about his patients, I find this short amount of time insufficient to properly treat most conditions, and I insist on more thorough treatment.
Since GHI does not cover massage, stretching, or rehab exercise instruction, I give GHI patients the option to lengthen their visit for an additional fee as seen above. Of course this is not a perfect solution, but it does make appropriate and high quality care accessible and affordable.
Insurance related issues are confusing by nature, so if you have any questions please call me at my office at 516-993-9582, he will be happy to explain anything that has not been made clear.
