Payment Options

Many insurance plans cover chiropractic care! You can always call the number on the back of your insurance card to clarify the benefits of your particular plan. Dr. Emily is an in-network provider for the following health insurances:

Aetna
American Specialty Health (ASH)
Anthem Blue Cross
Blue Shield of California
Cigna
Optum
United Healthcare

**Note that some insurances like Kaiser Permanente and Sharp Healthcare may go through American Specialty Health for your chiropractic visits. If this is the case, Dr. Emily would be an in-network provider.

If Dr. Emily is not in-network with your insurance provider, Dr. Emily can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. 

Unfortunately TriCare does not cover chiropractic care. Because of this, Dr. Emily always offers a 15% military discount! 

For patients without insurance, Dr. Emily has cash rates available. Payment can be made via cash, check, credit card, and Apple Pay. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
