Well Patient Care Fee System

At Metcalf Chiropractic Health Center, we believe that everyone deserves the right to experiences their highest potential of health. When this inborn gift of health is interfered with and sickness or injury result, we accept the responsibility of helping our patients restore and maintain their natural health.

Now that you have completed your Initial Intensive Care, we are dedicated to continuing to increase your new level of restored health. We encourage you to go beyond the limited belief that symptom relief is enough, and dedicate yourself to a state of optimum on-going wellness.

The widely accepted medical view of health supports health care and insurance programs that focus on sickness, injury and illness after they have occurred. Once the crisis care is complete and symptoms are relieved, care stops. Our approach is different. As a vitalistic alternative to this view, we offer three different types of care encompassing both sick and Well Patient Care for adults and children.

Initial Intensive Care

Some consider this type of care as "crisis care". From a Chiropractic point of view, this level of care is designed to remove the latest layers of damage to the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (V.S.C.), so the body can begin its natural healing process.

Reconstructive Care

This type of care removes deeper layers of V.S.C. and allows whole body health to start to improve. This phase of care begins once Initial Intensive Care is complete.

Wellness Care

Wellness Care is where Chiropractic differentiates itself from the medical model. This type of care is designed to allow the highest potential of function of the entire body. Wellness Care is designed to help you and your family reach optimum physical, mental, social and spiritual well being on an ongoing basis by removing the V.S.C.

Affordable Wellness Care

It is widely known that current health care costs are rising and are expensive. This can prevent patients and their families from receiving the on-going Wellness Care they need to maintain or increase their health and well being.

It is part of my continuing dedication to provide this type of care in the achievement of a healthier world (one patient at a time) and we are doing our part to support a worldwide affordable system of Chiropractic Wellness Care for individuals and families. As a result, we have created our Well Patient Care Program in which you and your family can receive optimum ongoing Wellness Care for an affordable fee.

Who Qualifies for the Well Patient Care Fee System? This program is available to patients or families who enter our office as sick patients or well patients and who complete Initial Intensive Care recommendations. Upon completion of Initial Intensive Care, patients may be eligible to participate in our Well Patient Care Fee System. Dr. Metcalf's examination determines the patient's or family's eligibility.

Conditions of Offer

• If the patient suffers injury, and or in Dr. Metcalf's clinical opinion there has been a return to sick patient care status, the Well Patient Care Fee System will be suspended until such time as the patient completes sick patient care. The remaining family members will retain the privilege of the Well Patient Care Fee System at the set monthly rate.
• The patient understands and agrees that, at the present, insurance companies do not cover Reconstructive or Wellness Care. Therefore, this office will not, and the patient shall not, submit any claims for reimbursement of Reconstructive and Wellness Care.

• State of the art Chiropractic techniques and adjustments at this office.
• A continuing Chiropractic health educational program for you and your family to improve your knowledge and responsibility for your own and your family's health and Wellness.
