Colon Hydrotherapy or Colonics

Understandably, some clients who first visit us at Atlanta Colonic & Massage may have negative or incorrect pre-conceived ideas about Colon Hydrotherapy or Colonics. Some clients are nervous or embarrassed, while others may think colonics are a new and strange idea but soon discover what an incredible experience it is. We would like to share this experience of colonics with everyone.

With Colon Hydrotherapy or Colonics we have brought back the simplicity of wellness through a forgotten ancient natural method, which over time has helped maintain the wellbeing of people across many civilizations. Colonics are a safe, simple and naturally effective way to cleanse the body and puts you in control of your own health and wellness. Every organ in the body eliminates its toxins through the colon or urinary tract. If your colon is sluggish or clogged, these toxins may not be eliminated properly and be partially reabsorbed into the body. If healthy, your bowel eliminations should be long, snake-like and float. How many of us can make that claim?

How healthy is your elimination?

From the Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients

Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States when men and women are considered separately, and the second leading cause when both sexes are combined. It is expected to cause about 49,920 deaths (25,240 in men and 24,680 in women) during 2010; but it is also one of the most preventable. (American Cancer Society and Colon Cancer Challenge)

Colon Hydrotherapy is a 45-minute session experienced in a professional, clean, and private environment, facilitated by an I-ACT certified therapist. The session consists of a gentle flow of warm water into your colon and large intestine, washing away toxins, hydrating your whole body, and promoting your body’s natural peristaltic action, which is the movement of wastes through your colon.

Medical Insurance & Billing

While Colon Hydrotherapy and Colonics are not accepted by all insurance carriers, many insurers will accept claims made by clients if accompanied by a prescription from an authorized health care provider. Typically, your M.D., D.O., D.D.S., or Nurse Practitioner may write a prescription, if asked.

Atlanta Colonic & Massage does not directly accept insurance, clients claims for insurance or bill your medical insurance provider.

If you intend to submit an insurance claim for services, we advise you to ask your physician or health practitioner for a prescription for Colon Hydrotherapy “as needed” or “as necessary to correct bowel response” (language which may increase the chance your claim will be accepted by an insurer) prior to receiving services. We also ask that you provide a copy of your prescription for our records.

ICD-9-CM codes are used throughout the healthcare industry to describe diseases, injuries, symptoms and conditions. CPT codes are used to describe medical and surgical services performed by healthcare providers. ICD-9-CM codes and CPT codes are inherently related, as the diagnosis (ICD-9-CM code) must support the procedure (CPT code). Therefore, Medical claims typically require a valid ICD-9-CM diagnosis code and a CPT procedure code in order to be reimbursed.
Note: Atlanta Colonic & Massage does not diagnose treat or prescribe for any medical condition or recommend treatment.
