Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Chiropractic care, acupuncture, and related treatment for accident injuries are covered under New York No-Fault insurance benefits. We bill your auto insurance carrier directly, and most patients have little to no out-of-pocket cost for eligible, covered services.
Prompt evaluation following an accident is important, even if symptoms initially seem mild. Some injuries and symptoms may become more noticeable hours or days after the accident.
New York’s No-Fault insurance generally covers eligible accident-related medical care regardless of who caused the crash. This may apply whether you were the driver, a passenger, a pedestrian, or a bicyclist. We bill the appropriate auto insurance carrier directly, subject to your claim’s eligibility and available benefits.
You should notify your insurance carrier in writing as soon as possible—generally within 30 days of the accident. This typically includes completing and submitting the No-Fault application, Form NF-2. Late filing may jeopardize your benefits unless you can provide a clear and reasonable explanation for the delay. Contact our office promptly, and we can help you complete and submit the NF-2 paperwork to the appropriate insurance carrier.
Yes. With your authorization, our office can coordinate with your personal injury attorney by providing requested medical records, treatment documentation, narrative reports, and scheduling assistance. If you do not already have an attorney, we can provide contact information for experienced personal injury attorneys in the area.
New York No-Fault does not require you to begin chiropractic treatment within a specific number of days. However, you should seek an evaluation promptly if you are experiencing pain, stiffness, headaches, or other symptoms. A significant gap between the accident and your first visit may lead the insurance carrier to question whether your injuries are related to the collision. Early evaluation also allows your symptoms and examination findings to be documented accurately from the beginning.
