Advanced Chiropractic was advertising. I sent them a letter requesting their charges, and this is what I got back. (For your comparison I work on a donation basis and suggest P500 per visit.)
This is what Advance Chiropractic sent to me:

_________________________________________
Following the training from the “Parker Success Seminars” (so I have been told) the rountine is to do an exam, then say, “We need X-Rays. Come into the x-ray room with me please.”
.
Next they’ll shoot at least 2, perhaps 5 x-ray photos, and then tell you to return tomorrow for an analysis and report of findings. While you’re away they develop the the x-ray photos the old fashioned way by dipping the film in a tank of developer, then a tank of “Stop”and one more tank to neutralize the chemistry called “Fix.” There are machines that look like a photo copier. They will develop photos immediately, but they’re quite expensive.
.
There may be a 3rd day for you to wait in pain and finally FINALLY they will see you again, tell you IF they will or will not accept your case, and then tell you the price. The routine sounds something like this;
.
“I have done all of this service for you. You own me 50,000 Pesos. If you can write a cheque to me for that amount PLUS another P5,000 we can get your treatments started today.”
.
I have met patients who had this experience. I was shocked at such prices. I operate on a donation basis, and the suggested donation is printed beside a collection box or vase. If you leave more I’m grateful for the help. If you leave less I trust God about it. Everything happens for His good reasons.
.
X-Ray photos are NOT NECESSARY unless I suspect broken bones or bone disease. If that is an issue I will ask you to visit a local hospital’s radiologist and that person will pass the pictures to a Orthopedic Surgeon. I get the written report and that is all I need.
.
In most cases, your body will tell me what it needs through specific nervous system challanges and muscle testing, and the skill we are taught to develop during the exam, including sometimes Orthopedic testing.
.
I have done this work since age 27 and now I’m age 75. I do it so quickly and smoothly you would hardly realize I just ran an orthopedic test. I consider this just honest work, and proof of my competency.
.
I would never charge for every test and every item on an insurance company form. I never did while living in the USA.
.
I am not licensed in the Philippines. There IS NO licensing for Chiropractors in this great nation. I do not send forms to insurance companies. You can do that and request that they repay you. If you require me to produce a document explaining the work I have done I may request payment for my time writing.
.
I keep my requested donaton low enough so that you can afford to pay “out of pocket” and not request a health insurer to reimburse you. In that there is no Chiropractic licensing board in this country, it follows that no insurance company will accept your claim.
