Insurance and
Payment Information for Car Accident Care in Colorado

In Colorado, many drivers are covered for chiropractic care, physical therapy, and massage therapy after a car accident through their auto insurance Med Pay benefits, unless they have opted out. Med Pay is designed to help cover treatment related to auto accident injuries and is often already included in your policy.

At Boulder Sports Clinic, we help patients understand how Med Pay can be used for car accident chiropractic care, physical therapy after a car accident, massage therapy, and related services. This coverage often allows patients to receive care without immediate out-of-pocket expenses.

If additional treatment is needed beyond available Med Pay coverage, especially if benefits were used for emergency or hospital services, Boulder Sports Clinic can coordinate medical liens or work with injury finance companies. In some cases, consulting with a motor vehicle collision attorney can help ensure continued access to necessary care.

Dylan

Crossfit athlete - Longmont, Colorado

“I don’t know where to begin, but these guys are amazing. Their front desk staff are friendly and easy to work with. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Steve Brown (Chiropractor) and Dr. Jill (Physical Therapist) under the same roof!

I was in a severe motor vehicle accident and was referred to Boulder Sports Clinic by a friend. I was thoroughly evaluated and treated as an individual, not just a dollar sign. I received daily assessments and exercises, using a combination of techniques like McKenzie, banded work, cable machines, kettlebells, trap bar, and barbell exercises. After physical therapy, I received chiropractic care, which helped increase my range of motion and address problematic areas. Dr. Brown and Dr. Jill were always attentive and provided insightful ways to improve my outlook. They never asked about money, focusing solely on my recovery. The professionalism and care I received were outstanding. If you are involved in a car accident, this is the best conservative treatment you can imagine in a sports chiropractic setting with one-on-one physical therapy. Thank you for helping me get back to what I love doing.”
