Expanding Medicare Coverage for All Chiropractic Services within State License Scope
This Act aims to modernize the Medicare program to cover the full range of services provided by doctors of chiropractic, moving beyond the current limitation of only spinal manipulation. For Medicare beneficiaries, this means broader access to chiropractic care, aligning coverage with private insurance and other federal health systems. This change is intended to improve health outcomes and potentially reduce costs by offering citizens greater choice in their healthcare options.
Key points
Expanded Medicare Coverage: Citizens will gain access to all services provided by chiropractors that are legally authorized by their state license, not just spinal manipulation.
Standardization of Coverage: Chiropractic care under Medicare will be brought in line with standards used by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, and private health insurance.
Training Requirement for Chiropractors: For services to be eligible for payment, doctors of chiropractic must complete a one-time educational webinar or similar electronic product approved by the Secretary.
