There’s Still Time!
Even after the big
election, the fate of healthcare in the U.S. is a concern for many.
Still, there are a few ways you can take control of your own healthcare,
and if you've already done so by setting aside money into a health
savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA), you may be
able to use it towards chiropractic care
at The Joint. Year end is fast approaching, and if you're like the
average American, you may still have around $75-$100 in unused funds
left over in your pre-tax savings accounts— and with FSAs especially,
the old adage "use it or lose it" applies. But don't let that concern
you, because not only is there still time to allocate that money for
chiropractic care, but you likely have enough left over for not just one
visit but possibly even a month or so of adjustments!
FSAs and HSAs allow you
more flexibility to cover your healthcare costs and allow you to
determine what expenses you want to allocate your money towards, making
it easier to incorporate alternative healthcare such as chiropractic
into your wellness routine. To utilize your pre-tax plans to cover chiropractic care at The Joint,
you need only review your plan's guidelines to be sure you meet the
eligibility requirements. For instance, in some cases a letter of
medical necessity or prescription from your medical doctor is required.
Chiropractic isn't just
for those experiencing pain or seeking to alleviate symptoms of illness.
While it is certainly important to see your chiropractor for these
types of health issues, making ongoing chiropractic care a part of your
health regimen is a significant way to help your body function properly,
and in many cases aid in the prevention of health concerns before they
occur; which is why The Joint offers both individual and family plan options.
While you can use your
pre-tax plan to cover the cost of each visit, they will not cover future
visits before they occur, so you may be required to submit receipts for
your visits. However, with healthcare costs on the rise, HSAs and FSAs
allow you to better plan and budget for the care you require and keep
costs to a minimum by allowing you to use pre-taxed monies. Take control
of your healthcare— visit The Joint location nearest you today.
