Excerpt: The idea of a more stable financial future is no longer just a prospect in the chiropractic industry. With unwavering reimbursements for the first time since 2009, our survey shows an era of increasing confidence has arrived.

About this survey. Throughout August 2014, Chiropractic Economics extended an invitation by email to readers and other practicing chiropractors to complete a Web-based survey on fees and reimbursements. We limited survey participants to practicing chiropractors or their designated office managers/CAs to assure accuracy of information.

Number of participants. This year the analysis is based on the answers of 326 respondents.

Regional distribution. Broken into four regions of the country, participants hailed from the South (42 percent), the Midwest (22 percent), the West (21 percent), and the East (15 percent). There were seven states not represented in this year’s survey including: Alaska, Delaware, Mississippi, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and West Virginia. 

Averages. Unless indicated otherwise, all numbers are given as mean averages.

Cash-only practices. Cash-only practices reported fees only. The survey results are provided for informational purposes only. They are not intended to be used as a recommendation for setting fee levels.
