Hanson Holistics

If you were injured in a motor vehicle collision in Minnesota, you do NOT need health insurance to be treated for injures. Minnesota is a "No-Fault" state and requires auto insurance companies to provide minimum Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage for medical-related expenses and your wage loss and essential services on all policies. This coverage is available to you when you are injured in an automobile-related incident – without concern for who is at fault. This coverage is available to you whether you are at fault, another person is at fault, or even if no one is at fault. That means your insurance company will pay for treatments related to your injuries from the date of the incident OR until your PIP benefits are exhausted. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage provides additional payments for medical costs, lost wages, and similar expenses. A bodily injury claim under PIP does not increase your insurance premiums. It is also your right to seek treatment from providers of your choice. To be covered by PIP you must get a physical examination for the injury received in an automobile accident as soon as possible by a Doctor of Chiropractic or a Medical Doctor.

PIP covers all health care, including chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture, and physical therapy. You are covered regardless of who is at fault and regardless of the ultimate settlement for injuries received. And you are entitled to use the health providers of your choice. Treatments such as massage therapy, physical therapy, and medical devices must be prescribed by your doctor or chiropractor.

If you were involved in an auto accident and have a prescription for massage therapy from your Chiropractor or M.D., Hanson Holistics will bill your insurance company for you. Soft tissue injuries, such as sprains, strains, spasms, adhesions, and inflammation can cause debilitating pain that can lead to more concerns over time. Stress and trauma wreak havoc on even the healthiest person. It's important to seek treatment as soon as possible following an accident.
