Lutz · Tampa Bay
Car Accident Chiropractor in Lutz
Our office is on Dale Mabry Highway, the same road that runs through Lutz. If you were hurt in a crash, your visit is billed to your auto insurance under Florida PIP, and you stay on Dale Mabry Highway the whole way here.
HealthSpine is a one-doctor office. The person who examines you is the person who treats you: Dr. Bobby Koser, DC, a chiropractic physician. Care after a car accident is billed to your auto insurance under Florida PIP, not charged to you the way our self-pay visits are.
Florida's 14-day rule after a crash near Lutz
Florida's no-fault insurance law, called PIP (personal injury protection), conditions your medical benefits on when your care begins. Florida law gives you 14 days from the crash to begin care and keep your no-fault medical benefits. If that window is open, call us and we will get you examined.
Soreness after a collision often shows up days later rather than minutes later. Adrenaline and other stress hormones can mask pain at first, and inflammation in strained muscles and joints builds over hours and days. An early examination puts the crash in your chart before the soreness arrives, and it keeps you inside Florida's 14-day window either way.
If your crash happened in Lutz, on Dale Mabry Highway, Van Dyke Road, Lutz Lake Fern Road, or US 41, call 844-51-SPINE (844-517-7463). Our office is on that same Dale Mabry Highway, about five miles south of the Van Dyke Road light, in Carrollwood.

Look for the pylon sign
HealthSpine is at 10330 N. Dale Mabry Hwy, Suite 205, Tampa, FL 33618, on the same highway that runs through Lutz. Dale Mabry Highway is signed as State Road 597 north of Busch Boulevard, and from our door it carries north through Northdale and into Lutz before it ends at US 41 in southern Pasco County, just north of the Hillsborough line. If you are on Dale Mabry Highway anywhere in Lutz, you are already on our road.
From the Van Dyke Road light, at the Van Dyke Commons shopping center with LA Fitness, HomeGoods and CVS, Dale Mabry Highway runs about five miles south to our door and you stay on it the whole way. Figure about 10 to 15 minutes outside rush hour. If you are coming off the toll road instead, the Veterans Expressway spur, State Road 568, ends at a signal on Dale Mabry Highway about a third of a mile north of Van Dyke Road, so you turn south there and stay on Dale Mabry Highway from that point.
Farther north, Dale Mabry Highway meets Lutz Lake Fern Road at a traffic light about seven and a half miles from us, which is roughly 15 to 20 minutes outside rush hour. Lutz Lake Fern Road runs west from that light past the Cheval West gatehouse and past Steinbrenner High School at 5575 W. Lutz Lake Fern Road, and from that gatehouse the same drive runs about 20 to 25 minutes. East of Dale Mabry Highway the road works its way past the Oscar Cooler Sports Complex at 766 W. Lutz Lake Fern Road over to US 41, where the Lutz train depot replica stands at the corner and the Lutz Branch Library sits behind it at 101 W. Lutz Lake Fern Road.
Lutz sits across the Hillsborough and Pasco county line, and the drive to our Carrollwood office is the same either way. Dale Mabry Highway carries you the whole distance.
What the Auto Accident Injury Visit covers
The Auto Accident Injury Visit covers the Florida PIP paperwork your insurer requires to open your claim, a complete examination, documentation of your injuries in your chart including how you move and where it hurts, and your care plan. Plan for about 90 minutes.
This visit is billed to your auto insurance under Florida PIP rather than to you. If you already have a chart with us, the crash still gets its own paperwork and its own examination, because that is the visit that opens your Florida PIP file.

What does a first visit cost?
Auto accident visits are billed to your auto insurance under Florida PIP, not charged to you directly the way our self-pay visits are. What you owe out of pocket depends on your policy's deductible and coinsurance, and we do not know that number until we verify your coverage, which we do before your first treatment. If you were not in an accident and want our regular self-pay pricing, it is on our pricing page.
I was in a car accident near Lutz. What do I need to know about Florida's PIP deadline?
Florida law gives you 14 days from the crash to begin care and keep your no-fault medical benefits. If that window is open, call us and we will get you examined.

Which visit should someone from Lutz book after a crash?
Book the Auto Accident Injury Visit. It has its own paperwork and its own examination, and it is the visit that opens your Florida PIP file. It is billed to your auto insurance under Florida PIP. The Pain Source Exam is our self-pay new-patient visit, so it is not the one to book after a crash in Lutz. Our office is at 10330 N. Dale Mabry Hwy, Suite 205, in Carrollwood, about five miles south of the Van Dyke Road light.
How far is HealthSpine from the Van Dyke Road area of Lutz?

What if I cannot make a weekday appointment?
If you cannot come in during the week, call 844-51-SPINE and we can arrange a weekend video visit with Dr. Koser. You need to be in Florida at the time of the visit, and the hands-on examination and treatment happen in person.
I live in Cheval or near Lutz Lake Fern Road. Do you see patients from that part of Lutz?
Yes. Dale Mabry Highway meets Lutz Lake Fern Road at a traffic light about seven and a half miles north of our Carrollwood office, which is roughly 15 to 20 minutes outside rush hour.

Lutz spans two counties. Does that change anything about getting care here?
No. Lutz sits across the Hillsborough and Pasco county line, and the drive to our Carrollwood office is the same Dale Mabry Highway run either way. Long Lake Ranch on the Pasco side and Calusa Trace on the Hillsborough side come down the same road. Florida PIP is a statewide no-fault system, so which county your Lutz street sits in does not change how a car accident visit is billed.
What if my crash in Lutz happened more than 14 days ago?
Call us at 844-51-SPINE (844-517-7463). Florida's 14-day rule conditions your no-fault PIP benefits on when your care begins, and your insurer can deny the claim if care started outside the window. An examination still documents what the crash affected, and Dr. Koser goes over the findings with you the same day. If PIP is closed to you, the New Patient exam is our self-pay path, and every bookable price is published on our pricing page before you book.
