Paying cash?

Uninsured patient options

We offer two programs to help reduce the cost of the adjustment and exam appointments for people who have to pay cash. The first program is a Wellness Plan for adjustments and a separate one for massage therapy. They are outlined below. You can purchase a package of visits at a reduced rate.

Adjustment Plan

THE INDIVIDUAL OR FAMILY ADJUSTMENT PLAN has been designed to save you money and will guarantee that the cost of your spinal care will not increase during the next 12 months. The Adjustment Plan is being offered as an opportunity for our loyal patients to save money.

  • The Adjustment Plan will be effective for 12 months from date of purchase (i.e. purchase date 1/1/15, expiration date is 1/1/16). Patient may use his/her visits as he/she pleases; however, there is no refund if patient does not use up all his/her visits by the expiration date. Appointments are required.
  • The Adjustment Plan will cover only adjustments. It will not cover treatment of trauma or injuries caused by falls, twists, bending, or auto- or work-related injuries that may be legally reimbursed in the future. (Or have need for Exam or new diagnosis to treatment.)
  • The Adjustment Plan is not covered by insurance and is legal because it is paid in advance and not reimbursable, partially or in full.
  • Payment in full via cash, debit card, or credit card is expected at time of purchase.
  • The Adjustment Plan is being offered with 3 choices. Cost of The Adjustment Plan is as follows:
  • 12 adjustments – $660($55 ea) – savings of $180 over single fee
  • 6 adjustments – $360($60 ea) – savings of $60 over single fee
  • 4 adjustments – $260($65 ea) – savings of $20 over single fee

Should you decide not to take advantage of The Spinal Wellness Plan, single spinal wellness adjustments will be available for $65, $70, or $80 payable at time of visit.

Massage Plan

The Individual Massage Plan is a cost effective way for patients who are interested in maintaining spinal health through massage in between treatment plans with Dr. Leheny. Insurance does not cover therapy when you have reached maximum medical improvement or when not following a treatment plan under Dr. Leheny's care; therefore the financial responsibility goes to the patient. The Individual Massage Plan is being offered as an opportunity for loyal patients to save money.

  • The Individual Massage Plan will be effective for 12 months from date of purchase (i.e. purchase date 1/1/16, expiration date is 1/1/17). Patient may use his/her visits as he/she pleases. There is no refund, partial or full, if the patient does not use up all his/her visits by the expiration date. Appointments are required.
  • The Individual Massage Plan is not covered by insurance and is legal because it is paid in advance and not reimbursable, partially or in full.
  • Payment in full via check, cash, debit card, or credit card is expected at time of purchase.
  • The Individual Massage Plan is being offered with 3 choices. Cost of The Individual Massage Plan is as follows:
  • 12 massages – $420($35 each) – savings of $180 over single fee
  • 5 massages – $200($40 each) – savings of $50 over single fee
  • 3 massages – $135($45 each) – savings of $15 over single fee

Should you decide not to take advantage of The Individual Massage Plan, single massage sessions will be available for $50 payable at time of each massage visit.
