What is The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act (H.R. 2654)?
H.R. 2654 is a bill that would expand Medicare coverage of chiropractic services to include all services provided by chiropractors, rather than only subluxation corrections through manual manipulation of the spine.
The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act (H.R. 2654) includes:
manual manipulation of the spine and extremities,
evaluation and management services,
diagnostic imaging,
utilization of other non-drug approaches (an important strategy in national efforts to address the epidemic of prescription opioid overuse and abuse).
H.R. 2654:
1. Provides patient access to all Medicare-covered benefits allowable under a chiropractor’s state licensure.
2. Requires that Doctor’s of Chiropractic complete a documentation webinar.
3. Appropriately defines a Doctor of Chiropractic as a “physician” in the Medicare program.
4. Is bipartisan legislation, introduced by 16 cosponsors from both political parties.
5. The bill now has 120 sponsors evenly split by both parties.
