Do I need imaging like an MRI before my first visit?
No. You do not need imaging before your first visit. Many soft tissue injuries from auto accidents do not show up clearly on imaging anyway. If imaging would be helpful, your nurse practitioner can order it as part of your care.
Will my care be coordinated with my insurance company?
Yes. We document your evaluation and treatment in a way that supports your no-fault claim. If your situation involves an attorney, we coordinate with their office on documentation as needed.
What if my accident was a few months ago?
Lingering pain weeks or months after a collision is common, and it is treatable. Many patients come to us after they assumed the pain would just go away on its own. We can still make meaningful progress even if the accident was not recent.
Do I need a referral?
No. You do not need a referral to be seen at Wellspring after an auto accident. You can call, text, or book a free consultation directly.
How does insurance work for auto accident treatment?
Minnesota is a no-fault state, which means your own auto insurance typically covers medical care after an accident, regardless of who was at fault. We work directly with no-fault auto insurance and can verify your benefits before treatment begins. You can read more on our auto accident insurance page.
Do I need to be in major pain to come in after an accident?
No. Many auto accident injuries take days or weeks to fully show up. An evaluation soon after the accident is one of the best things you can do for your recovery, even if your symptoms feel manageable right now. Early care is one of the strongest predictors of full recovery.
