They called it a new patient fee. I was told that they would credit me my $119 after I posted my post on the TOTV.

Well good. I have used Legacy many times over the years. Never at any point did they charge me this fee. Now I went to Compton Chiropractic a couple years ago and they wanted to charge me a new patient fee of over $200.00.

I got ripped off for over 3x that much 2 years ago after initially just wanting to get an adjustment. So $119 would've been a bargain. But while I was there he suggested xrays and I was curious to see how my spine was with my little come and go pain tweaks. They turned out fine, but it was a $400 lesson to next time get any back x-rays from a participating ortho. Somehow I knew that, but what I could've done was question the total cost before the procedure. Hindsight = 20/20. Plus I used to work for medical insurance and like I said I should've known better. His cost estimate for $75 per adjustment session 2x a week is what I passed on.

I’m pretty sure I have more than just a clue, having spent over 30 years cleaning up their disasters.

Too often there are ways that the system is abused. I call Shenanigans. Had one doctor that was getting paid each week from my insurance. I saw the doctor 1x a month. When I asked him about it, he said that he set aside 30 minutes each week to answer any questions I may have. The shenanigan (SP) that bothers me perhaps the most, was when I would get surgery for c I had in my thirties. I made sure that the surgeon was covered. I got huge bills for anesthesia . I said on my future surgeries I wanted to use a group that accepted my insurance. No can do. The hospital had an exclusive agreement with one group, a group that did not take insurance.

Why not a real Physical Therapist???

Because a physical therapist does not do what a chiropractor does.
And I don't think all major medical insurance plans would cover the care if it was not "real".

Thank God for that.

Yes. And thank God a dentist doesn't do what a surgeon does, and a optometrist doesn't do what a proctologist does, and.....

I think someone is just making assumptions about chiropractic and does't have a real clue about it.

Yeah, that must be it. I think I'll go out on a limb and suggest I know 10,000 times as much about medicine as you do. Just another "assumption"

I see. Maybe it's like this other person I knew who was a retired doctor intimidated by people who don't prescribe drugs after getting wined and dined by drug companies. Too bad chiropractic is not real medicine like prescribing Thalidomide to pregnant mothers.

And since it is wikipedia, there is clearly only objective information.
