The Back Alley Chiropractic & Massage is a participating Medicare provider. We contract with most major insurance carriers in our region, as well as many of their subsidiaries. Our office accepts 1st and 3rd party auto accident, personal injury, worker’s compensation, and attorney liens. In addition, we are enrolled with Arizona’s medicaid agency, Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS).
Don’t have chiropractic coverage? No problem! We offer affordable self pay rates. Many of our patients already choose to pay out of pocket due to little or no coverage. View our office policy page for a copy of the current fee schedule.

Medicare supplement plans do not require network contracting, claims can be routed directly after Medicare has processed your initial claim**. Supplement plans do not approve Medicare Non-Covered services and are generally considered patient responsibility.
*Effective 10/1/22, Medicaid plans require primary care physician referral for all patients 21 years and older and may be limited to 20 visits each year.
**Effective 1/1/24, our office no longer bills supplement plans or secondary carriers after Medicare has processed the claim. Due to this change, patient must insure they have signed up for Medicare crossover in order for the full claim to be covered by both carriers.
Auto accident and personal injury
We accept auto accident and personal injury patients on a lien basis. If a 3rd party is responsible for your injuries, a lien will be filed against all responsible parties and recorded in Pima County. If you carry medical payment (MEDPAY) benefits on your auto insurance policy, your carrier will be billed up to the available limits. Click here to learn more about MEDPAY. Should you retain an attorney at any time during your care, our office will forward your lien to your attorney right away.
Worker’s Compensation
We accept all worker’s compensation patients. If you have completed a report of injury with your employer, retain a copy for your records, we will require this at your first visit. Some worker’s compensation insurance carriers require authorization or referral for chiropractic treatment. Please be aware that very specific paperwork may be necessary to insure your treatment is covered under your employer’s plan.
