Key Points

  • Would expand Medicare to cover all chiropractic services that a state license allows, not just spine manipulation.
  • Treats a licensed doctor of chiropractic more like other “physicians” under Medicare for covered services.
  • Could give Medicare patients more options for care like exams and other chiropractor-provided services, depending on state rules.
  • Medicare payment would be limited unless the chiropractor completes a required Medicare education webinar (or similar training) or provides spine manipulation for a subluxation.
  • If passed, this could change what Medicare will pay for at chiropractic offices and what patients may owe out of pocket.
