I would like to receive treatment from a chiropractor using judo therapy. What should I do?
Health insurance covers judo-based chiropractic treatment for bone fractures, partial bone fractures, dislocations, blows, sprains, and torn muscles. In principle, you must first pay such bills and receive reimbursement later. However, upon presentation of your health insurance card to your chiropractor, you may receive immediate insurance benefits in municipalities where the local social-insurance bureau directors have established an agreement with your chiropractor (specifically, an agreement on acceptance and entrustment). You must obtain approval from a doctor to obtain judo-based treatment for fractured bones and dislocations.
