New Patient? Here’s How It Works (2-Step Process):

Step 1: Schedule your New Patient Discovery Call with the doctor. During this quick phone call, we’ll review your health history, answer any questions, and make sure we’re a good fit for your goals.

Step 2: After your consult, we’ll schedule your in-office visit where you’ll receive:

Nervous system scans A personalized care plan + financial overview Your first adjustment — same day!


👋 A Quick Note on Insurance & Payment options We want to make your experience at Access Chiropractic as smooth and stress-free as possible — starting right here at scheduling!

Currently, we are in-network with Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans only. Please note: We are not in-network with HMO or POS plans, or with United Healthcare, UMR, or Optum.

🧠 What About Pediatric & Neurologically Focused Care? Many of the specialized services we provide — especially for children and neurological-focused care — are often not covered by insurance, even under plans we may be in-network with. But don’t worry! We’ve got flexible self-pay options to make care accessible for every family.

Whether you’re seeking care for yourself, your little one, or your whole crew — we’ll walk you through all your options and make sure there are no surprises when it comes to cost.

💬 Still Have Questions? We’re here for you! Feel free to call or text us at (515) 266- 6587 and we’ll be happy to answer any insurance or payment questions before your visit.

We can’t wait to meet you — and help you and your family get connected, aligned, and thriving 💙
