Expanding Chiropractor Services in Medicare: New Treatment Options
This act broadens the scope of services provided by chiropractors that can be covered by the Medicare program. This means Medicare beneficiaries will have access to a wider range of chiropractic treatments, including examinations and imaging services, potentially making healthcare more accessible and improving treatment options.
Key points
Medicare will cover more chiropractic services, beyond just subluxation correction, to include evaluation, management, and imaging services (excluding drug prescriptions).
Chiropractors will be allowed to enter into private contracts with Medicare beneficiaries for services, offering more flexibility in care choices.
The changes will take effect 30 days after the act's enactment, ensuring a swift implementation of the new rules.
