Here is how VAC chiropractic assessment fees work at our Fredericton clinic — explained plainly, with no surprises.
Is your condition already a pensioned condition covered for chiropractic care? Then the Medical Questionnaire visit costs you nothing.
However, if your condition isn’t yet pensioned or covered, we bill the visit as a standard new patient visit through Fredericton Family Chiropractic. You can check the current new patient fees on the Fredericton Family Chiropractic fees page.
As for BPA medical-legal letters, see our BPA Medical-Legal Letters page for how billing works through your advocate.
What Counts as a Pensioned Condition?
A pensioned condition is one that VAC has already approved for disability benefits, with chiropractic care included in your coverage. In that case, we bill VAC directly — so you pay nothing at the visit. Moreover, if you go on to receive ongoing treatment for that covered condition, direct billing applies to those routine visits as well.
Not Sure Which Applies to You?
Many veterans aren’t certain whether their condition is covered until they check. That’s completely normal. Bring your VAC correspondence to your appointment, or call ahead and we’ll help you sort it out. Either way, you’ll know exactly how VAC chiropractic assessment fees apply to your situation before any appointment goes ahead. There are no surprises and no obligations — just a clear answer.
Do You Need a Referral?
No — you can book directly with the clinic, and new patients are always welcome. Additionally, if you’re working with a BPA advocate, your advocate can contact us on your behalf and we’ll coordinate the details together. That keeps the process simple for you from the very first call.
