In a landmark development, Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) has reached a $2.8 billion settlement to resolve antitrust claims brought by health care providers, including chiropractors. The lawsuit accused BCBS of dividing the nation into exclusive regions and limiting competition, which resulted in lower reimbursements for providers. Although BCBS denies any wrongdoing, the company agreed to the settlement to avoid lengthy litigation – and you can get a piece of the pie.
Parker College Opens New Family Chiropractic Wellness Center
Parker College of Chiropractic announces the opening of a new chiropractic center in Flower Mound, Texas. The center will contribute to educating students in a real-world experience and will continue the development of students transitioning from a college internship to a chiropractic field practitioner. It also offers students the opportunity to examine and treat a high volume of patients that will bring them to a more advanced level of clinical performance.
Parker is working closely with alumni and other chiropractors in the area to bring the chiropractic message to the community.
The state-of-the-art center will allow the doctors of chiropractic and senior student interns to provide superior care with the latest technologies to accompany chiropractic wellness care. The wellness center will feature private adjusting rooms, passive and active therapy, a patient education room, X-rays, nutritional counseling, a supplement store, and more.
The center will be led by Dr. Keith Johnson and Dr. Daniel Kurth. Dr. Johnson is a current resident of Flower Mound who practiced in the community for over 25 years before joining Parker College. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Kurth practiced in both Denver and Iowa before moving his family to Dallas, Texas, where he has been a member of the Parker team since 1997.
Parker College has two affiliated chiropractic centers located in Dallas and Irving where senior student interns get real world experience under the supervision of doctors of chiropractic.
The Flower Mound center is located at 1190 Parker Square. For more information, please call 972.438.9355.
