Independence Blue Cross PPO Insurance/ IBX Health Insurance Plans

Independence Blue Cross’s IBX PPO health insurance plan provides coverage for chiropractic visits and treatments. Chiropractic care is a form of alternative healthcare that focuses on the spine and its extremities. A chiropractic exam will involve a diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

Under the IBX PPO health insurance plan, members can choose to see either an In-Network or Out-of-Network chiropractor. In-network chiropractors are those who have a contract with Independence Blue Cross and have agreed to accept negotiated rates for their services. However, Out-of-network chiropractors do not have a contract with the insurance company and may charge higher rates for their services. Independence Blue Cross PPO / IBX Insurance is the best around for chiropractic adjustments.
