insurance policy at Karim Chiropractic
Our Commitment to Quality Care
At Karim Chiropractic, we’ve made the intentional decision not to accept insurance for regular visits because:
-
Uncompromised Care
Insurance companies shouldn't dictate what therapies are best for your healing. Dr. Karim and you decide together what treatments will be most beneficial for your specific condition and goals.
-
Extended Appointment Times
Without insurance limitations, we can offer longer appointments when needed rather than the rushed 5 minute visits typical in insurance-based practices.
-
Transparency and Trust
Paying at the time of service creates clear expectations and allows us to focus entirely on your care rather than dealing with insurance bureaucracy.
-
Personalized Treatment Plans
We can combine multiple modalities (chiropractic, acupuncture, cupping, etc.) in a single visit without insurance restrictions.
-
Direct Doctor-Patient Relationship
Your care decisions remain between you and Dr. Karim, without third-party interference or approval requirements.
-
Exception: Auto Accident Cases
We do bill auto insurance directly for car accident cases under Kansas PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage, handling all paperwork so you can focus on healing.
