Many carriers no longer pay for initial examinations, which are required by law. Naturally as Physicians we have to examine a patient to determine what is wrong so that we can determine a course of therapy. Thus, under most plans a patient remains responsible for that initial cost.
If you have a plan, and we are NOT in your plan, we can arrange a program whereby you will, after the exam fee, not pay any more for Dr. Press to treat you than if we were in plan for your coverage.... read, understand what we are saying here, then call 201-569-1444 for a FREE consultation to learn more.

| If you were in an accident at work:
*In the State of New Jersey, we have a very unfair law for workers known as a STRONG EMPLOYER, WEAK EMPLOYEE law. This means that for any on-the-job injury, your employer can determine which and what kind of doctors you may see. Since they have to have Worker's Compensation Insurance, the contract with the carrier normally assigns that right to the insurance carrier. HOWEVER, many companies do not know this, and may give you "permission to see your own doctor".
Remember, that since 1954 in Thomas v Carleton Hosiery Mills, the NJ Supreme Court ruled that Chiropractic Doctors are "Physicians". Thus, it is legal and moral to for you to ask ONLY for "permission to see your own physician". You probably should not specify what kind of doctor you plan to see, because despite that this law has existed since 1954, MANY people in human resources departments, and elsewhere still unfortunately do not know that a DC (Doctor of Chiropractic) is a "physician". You will need a note, signed by anyone in a position above you at work to have this binding upon them. Once you obtain such permission, we can treat you on assignment. And, the doctor is reimbursed 100% of billed services. There are NO deductibles or co-pays.
Q: I was in a company car, and got into an accident. Is this an Auto Accident or a Worker's Comp case?
A: Both. You will need to speak to an Attorney to determine which carrier is liable for your bills.
