Starting 2027 the Oregon Chiropractic Clinic will be going out of network, our billing team will provide a superbill for anyone who has an out-of-network plan with all the details you need to submit to your insurance company.

The superbill includes the key details your insurance company needs in order to consider reimbursing you for your chiropractic services. It contains:
• Your information – your full name and date of birth
• Your provider’s information – their name, professional license, and a unique ID number (called an NPI)
• The purpose of the service – this is shown through “diagnosis codes”.
• The type of service – this appears as a “procedure code” that insurance companies use to know what kind of service you received.
• The dates of your appointments and the fees charged
• Proof of payment

All you have to do is submit the superbill to your insurance. Here’s the typical process:
1. Pay for your services up front.
2. Submit your superbill (and any required claim forms) to your insurance via their preferred submission method. If you are unsure how your plan prefers that superbills be submitted, you can reach out to the insurance company member services department.
3. Wait for processing—most companies take 2–4 weeks to complete processing and send you the reimbursements. You will usually know within days if your submission has been accepted or rejected and if your submission is ever rejected, your insurance company should explain why and what can be done to ensure acceptance when you resubmit the superbill.

Those with Medicare and Corporate Medicare Advantage will not be affected. We will continue to submit Medicare and CMA claims as usual.

Dear Patient,

Thank you for trusting us with your care. After careful consideration, we want to inform you that our practice will end its in-network relationship with private insurance companies, effective January 2027. This will not affect patients with Medicare.

This was not an easy decision to make, but it is necessary to allow us to continue adhering to our high standards of care without the restrictive policies of in-network insurance contracts. We highly value our relationship with you and want to assure you that you can certainly continue to receive your care at our office.

The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons has a great summary on diagnosis and management of low back pain. They recommend that "Surgery for low back pain should be considered only when nonsurgical treatment options have been tried and have failed. It is best to try nonsurgical options for 6 months to a year before considering surgery." There's more information on the website.

Low back pain sometimes occurs after a specific movement, such as lifting or bending. Just getting older also plays a role in many back conditions. This article explains some of the more common causes of low back pain and describes some general treatment options.
