We often get the question, "what should I charge for ADAS calibrations?" and it's a fair one. When considering what price to charge, it's important to keep these guidelines in mind as it relates to insurance companies. You want to make sure that you're not getting too much push-back from insurance adjusters, but also that you are charging adequately. You can find below our suggested prices, but first some pointers:
Research Insurance Reimbursement Rates: Understand the typical reimbursement rates that insurance companies offer for ADAS calibrations in your area. This can serve as a benchmark for setting your prices and ensuring they are in line with industry standards. Be sure to check with the dealerships in the area and price beneath them. You might be surprised at how much they are charging!
Align Pricing with Insurance Guidelines: Familiarize yourself with the specific requirements and guidelines outlined by insurance companies for ADAS calibrations. Ensure that your pricing structure complies with these guidelines to facilitate smooth reimbursement processes and avoid disputes.
Offer Transparent Pricing Documentation: Provide detailed invoices and documentation of the services performed during ADAS calibrations. Clear, itemized pricing breakdowns can help insurance adjusters understand the justification for the costs and expedite reimbursement processes.
Communicate Effectively with Insurance Companies: Maintain open communication channels with insurance companies regarding your pricing structure and reimbursement policies. Be proactive in addressing any questions or concerns they may have to facilitate efficient reimbursement processes and foster positive relationships.
Advocate for Fair Reimbursement: If you encounter reimbursement rates that are below your cost of providing ADAS calibrations, consider advocating for fair reimbursement rates with insurance companies. Provide evidence of industry standards and the value of your services to support your case for fair reimbursement.
