To choose a chiropractor for general care in Florida, first verify that the chiropractor is **properly licensed by the Florida Board of Chiropractic Medicine**. Florida requires chiropractors to hold a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from an accredited program and pass both the **National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) exams and the Florida Chiropractic Laws and Rules Examination (FCLR)**, which tests knowledge on licensing requirements, office management, patient care, and professional conduct[1][3][4]. Licenses must be renewed biennially according to Florida Department of Health regulations, ensuring ongoing fitness to practice and compliance with state law[6][8]. When selecting a chiropractor, contact the Florida Board directly or search their online database to verify valid licensure and look for any disciplinary actions or complaints[3].
Regarding insurance, chiropractors in Florida must abide by state insurance regulations related to billing and patient records. Many chiropractors accept major health insurance plans including Medicaid and Medicare within their scope, but coverage varies, so confirm with your insurance provider and the chiropractor’s office what services are reimbursable[1][3]. Typical costs for chiropractic visits in Florida generally range from about $30 to $200 per session depending on location, treatment complexity, and insurance coverage, although out-of-pocket expenses can vary widely with some areas charging more due to demand and overhead.
When interviewing a chiropractor, ask about their **experience with your specific needs, treatment methods, safety protocols, and how they coordinate care with other healthcare professionals**. You should also inquire about their **policy on patient records, fees, billing practices, and cancellation policies**[1][3]. State-specific considerations include that Florida chiropractors are prohibited from prescribing drugs or performing surgery and their scope includes physical therapy modalities and manual adjustments but no invasive procedures beyond that[3][5]. Ensure the chiropractor adheres to professional conduct standards and participates in continuing education to stay updated on best practices, which you can confirm with the Board or by direct inquiry[1].
