NEW YEAR-NEW VIEW

If you have a sick plant, do you care for the leaves? 

Or the Root?

What if this year instead of masking our health problems, we looked to the root of how to fix our health problem.  When a plant is unhealthy we don't try to heal the leaves.  We try to heal the roots.  Water it, give it nutrients, light, love etc.  Same rules apply to your body.  If you are having health issues, you must look to the root of the problem.  Not mask your health issues over with medications.  The body is built to heal itself with the right care, nutrition and exercise.  However, in today's world, we expect instant results.  We take the easy road,which in the long run, is making you SICK.  For the New Year, Meek Chiropractic gives you this challenge.  Look to the root of your problems and take the road less traveled.  Let us help you figure out the how to do that.   "The KEY to health is education.  Let Meek Chiropractic help you UNLOCK your potential"  See our calendar (http://meekchiro.com/index.php?package=icalendar&action=show_calendar) for exciting classes to make 2013 your year for real results in changing your health.

Together we can can make a difference. 

 
Meek Chiropractic is dedicating 2013 to educating our patients, their family and our community.  WHY?

2013 will be a year of change.  Change in our healthcare system and change to the way YOU need to be proactive in your own health.  There are many unknowns with the new healthcare law and we are learning weekly new details of what to expect not only for our patients, but how our doctors will be able to give you the care you need.    One thing is sure.  It is more important now than ever for you to start taking steps to live a healthier life so you don’t get sick.    

Medicare Definition of Maintenance: Non-Covered Services (This means Medicare will not pay for the services that fall under this definition)
" Maintenance therapy is defined as a treatment plan that seeks to prevent disease, promote health, and prolong and enhance the quality of life; or therapy that is performed to maintain or prevent deterioration of a chronic condition. When further clinical improvement cannot reasonably be expected from continuous ongoing care, and the chiropractic treatment becomes supportive rather than corrective in nature, the treatment is then considered maintenance therapy. For information on how to indicate on a claim a treatment is or is not maintenance, see §240.1.3."

Medicare rules set the standards for other insurance companies.  Since Medicare must be the lowest paying, many insurance companies follow Medicare fee schedules.  With changes in 2013 new healthcare laws, many more services may fall under this maintenance definition with many insurance companies which could change what services will be covered and what prescriptions will be covered under insurance plans.  What does this mean-It is time to find the root of your problem and take a proactive approach to your health so you will not have to worry about what will be covered or not. 

NUMBER ONE:  If you are currently not experiencing any major health concerns, it is important NOW, to take preventative steps in your health. Make sure to start employing preventative care with your healthcare specialist;dentist, optometrist, family physicians and chiropractors.  All of these doctors know the key to being healthy is preventing illness before it starts. 

NUMBER TWO:  Get healthy or at least healthier-  We understand, this is easier said than done for most of us.  But, here is how Meek Chiropractic is going to help you get started.
