Excerpt: Last year, we saw an overall leveling of fees and reimbursements from our post-recession economy. This trend has continued this year among our survey participants and we have seen additional growth. Chiropractic has been seen as a viable option to fight the opioid epidemic, and we have seen ample research to back up its effectiveness.
About this survey: Throughout August 2018, Chiropractic Economics extended an invitation to readers to complete a web-based survey on fees and reimbursements. Additionally, we encouraged a number of state, national, and alumni assoications to distribute the survey to their members.
We limited the survey participants to practicing chiropractors or their designated office managers or CAs to ensure accuracy.
Number of participants: This year's analysis is based on responses from 280 respondents.
Regional distribution: Participants hailed from the South (35 percent), the West (22 percent), the East (16 percent) and the Midwest (23 percent). The following states were not represented in this year's survey: Alaska, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, South Dakota, Vermont, and West Virginia.
Averages: Unless indicated otherwise, all numbers are given as averages.
Cash-only: Cash-only practices reported fees only.
Our survey results are provided for informational purposes only. They are not intended to be used as a recommendation for setting fee levels.
