Choosing a chiropractor for auto accident injuries in Michigan involves several key considerations. First, ensure that the chiropractor is licensed by the **Michigan Board of Chiropractic**, which requires background checks, English language proficiency, and verification of licensure from any other state where the practitioner is licensed[5]. Additionally, under Michigan's no-fault insurance law, chiropractic care is covered if it arises from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident[1]. Prior to July 1, 2020, there were limitations on what chiropractic services were covered, but these have been expanded[1].
In terms of **insurance regulations**, Michigan no-fault insurance covers chiropractic care as part of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits, regardless of fault[1]. When selecting a chiropractor, verify that they are aware of these insurance regulations and are experienced in handling auto accident cases. **Typical costs** for chiropractic care after a car accident can vary, but generally range from $34 to $106 per visit[3]. It is essential to check with the chiropractor about their billing practices and insurance coordination. Patients should also verify the chiropractor's credentials with the state chiropractic board to ensure they meet the licensing requirements.
When interviewing potential chiropractors, ask **questions** such as: What experience do you have treating auto accident injuries? How do you handle insurance claims? What types of treatments do you offer? Additionally, consider **state-specific considerations**: Michigan requires chiropractors to have a massage therapy license if they provide massage therapy services[2]. Be aware of any new regulations or changes that may affect your care. Lastly, ensure that your chosen chiropractor is updated on the latest **Michigan Board of Chiropractic administrative rules**, which may impact their practice and your treatment options[9].
