Insurance is not accepted:

Montgomery Osteopractic does not accept insurance. As of January 1, 2020, Medicare and Blue Cross Blue Shield consider acupuncture, dry needling and spinal manipulation to be “non-covered” procedures.

At Montgomery Osteopractic, Dr. Dunning (not the insurance company or case manager) will determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition and symptoms. Furthermore, Dr. Dunning will have the option to administer procedures (such as acupuncture, dry needling or spinal manipulation) that Medicare, BCBS and other third-party payers deem as “non-covered”.

Montgomery Osteopractic has chosen to focus on what counts, the patient care itself.

Cancellation Policy:

In the event that you need to cancel a scheduled appointment, please do so at least 24 hours prior to your appointment time to avoid being charged a $25 missed appointment fee.
