The Kentucky Association of Chiropractors (KAC) is committed to ensuring chiropractors have the resources they need to navigate the often complex world of insurance coverage. We understand that insurance challenges can create barriers to accessing necessary treatment, which is why we are excited to provide our members with three new patient education flyers.

These flyers, developed through our collaboration with the Chiropractic Future Strategic Plan, are designed to simplify and clarify common insurance issues that impact patient care. By educating patients on these topics, we can empower them to advocate for better coverage and take an active role in their healthcare decisions.

Each flyer is structured to provide:

  • A clear explanation of the issue – Helping patients understand why they face certain insurance challenges.
  • Three key ways the issue impacts their care – Outlining how these barriers affect access to treatment.
  • Three action steps patients can take – Providing proactive steps to help navigate insurance hurdles.
  • Three talking points for advocacy – Equipping patients with the right language to discuss coverage concerns with their employer, insurance provider, or HR department.

The new flyers address three major insurance concerns:

  1. Copays – When Insurance Isn’t Really Coverage
    • Many patients end up paying more in copays than the actual cost of care.
  2. Per-Diem & Fixed Payment Models – How Insurance Limits Care
    • Insurance caps on per-visit payments can lead to higher out-of-pocket expenses and more frequent visits.
  3. Prior Authorization – Unnecessary Delays in Care
    • Required insurance approvals often cause delays, limiting timely access to treatment.

These materials are available at no cost to our members and can be a powerful tool in your practice. We encourage you to:

  • Distribute them to patients who face these insurance challenges.
  • Make them available in your waiting room so patients can educate themselves.
  • Use them as an explanation tool when discussing insurance-related barriers with patients.

These easy-to-read flyers are ready for you to print and use in your office immediately. By sharing this information with your patients, you can help them take control of their healthcare and advocate for better insurance coverage.
