Well, do not feel too bad, they pull fraudulent BS all of the time themselves.

I have BCBS LA and it was only a $25 copay. Go to the chiropractor and get a 30 min massage after

There’s a difference between going to a spa and getting a massage and getting one thru your chiro who may bill it as PT or necessary treatment. At least as far as the insurance company is concerned. So what your question is asking and what you’re explaining your cousin is getting are two different things.

leave it to a RINO to misrepresent a man's insurance benefits as 'borderline fraud'

Do you have to meet your deductible before you get the “top you off?”

He goes to a chiropractor who has massage therapists on staff. He goes every saturday to get a one hour massage from one of the therapists and then the chiropractor gives him an adjustment afterwards. His chiro bills it as physical therapy.


It is probably how it is coded from the chiropractor. I can recall getting charged for an ultrasound since it was done at a hospital imaging, but if it is done at the office it can be coded to where it is included in the visit.

So it is conceivable that certain things that may not normally get covered get snuck in.

I go every other week. Insurance does not cover it but it is at a PT office. I have had many at lots of places. The therapists apologize to me for how bad my muscles are.
