insurance estimate

What might your insurance pay you back?

We're an out-of-network, self-pay practice. You pay us for each visit, and we give you a superbill you can submit to your insurance. If your plan pays, it pays you directly.

This page helps you estimate what that could look like for the care plan you're considering, using the numbers your insurer gives you.

Estimate only. Your plan decides what it pays. Check your benefits with your insurer.

Nothing you enter leaves your device. Nothing is sent, saved or tracked. Close the page and it's gone.

1Do you have out-of-network chiropractic benefits?

Ask your insurer: "Do I have out-of-network chiropractic benefits?"

2Visits allowed per year

Ask: "How many out-of-network chiropractic visits does my plan allow each year?" Many plans allow 10, 24 or 30.

Ask: "How many chiropractic visits have I used this plan year?" Count visits anywhere, not only here.

Visits remaining: –

If Dr. Lazar finds you need a plan of care, the number of visits is in your written care plan.

What you pay us for each visit. Use the amount from your care plan.

Ask: "What is the out-of-network allowed amount for CPT 98940?" Left blank, the estimate assumes your plan allows our full fee. Most plans allow less.

Ask: "How much of my out-of-network deductible is left this year?" It comes off first, before your plan pays anything.

8Your cost share

Ask: "After the deductible, what is my out-of-network co-insurance or copay for a chiropractic visit?"

For example, 30% means your plan pays 70% of the allowed amount after the deductible.

Ask: "How much of my out-of-network out-of-pocket maximum is left?" Once your share reaches it, your plan pays the full allowed amount.

How the estimate is worked out

Only the visits your plan still allows are counted: the smaller of your care plan's visits and your visits remaining. Visits past that limit are estimated at $0 back.

For each counted visit, the allowed amount is your plan's amount or our fee, whichever is lower. Your deductible comes off first. With co-insurance, your plan pays its percentage of what's left; with a copay, it pays what's left after your copay. If you add an out-of-pocket maximum, once your share reaches it your plan pays the full allowed amount.

Your net cost is what you pay us, less the estimated reimbursement.

Who does the paperwork?

We give you a superbill you can submit to your insurance. You submit it, and your plan decides what it pays and sends any reimbursement to you. Questions? Call 734.274.5107 or write to hello@lazaruppercervical.com.
