In most cases, no—you do not need a referral to schedule an appointment with a chiropractor in Arizona.
Most patients can contact Chandler Chiropractic directly and schedule their first visit without seeing another healthcare provider first or obtaining a referral.
What If I Have Medicare?
If you have Original Medicare, you generally do not need a referral to see a chiropractor.
However, some Medicare Advantage, replacement, or supplemental plans may have their own requirements. Depending on your individual plan, a referral or other authorization may be required for chiropractic benefits.
Because these plans can vary, it’s always a good idea to verify the requirements of your particular policy.
If you’re unsure, give our office a call. Our team can help you understand what information may be needed and work with you to verify your chiropractic benefits.
What About Other Insurance Plans?
Most of the general insurance plans we work with do not require patients to obtain a referral before seeing a chiropractor.
Insurance policies and benefits can change, however, so we’ll always work to verify the details of your individual coverage rather than making assumptions based solely on the name of your insurance company.
Don’t let uncertainty about a referral keep you from calling.
Our team deals with insurance questions every day and can help you determine what applies to your particular situation before you begin care.
