Car accidents and chiropractic in North Carolina

North Carolina is a traditional at-fault (tort) auto insurance state, so accident-related care is usually claimed against the at-fault driver's liability insurance, or your own med-pay/PIP if you carry it. Ask the clinic whether it bills auto insurance directly and what paperwork it needs before treatment starts.

Choosing a clinic

• Pick a clinic you can reach easily, since care often involves several visits.
• Ask what a first visit costs and what it includes.
• Ask how progress will be measured and when you will be re-assessed.
• Be cautious of long prepaid packages at the first visit.
