Federal Bill Introduced to Expand Medicare Patients Choice

In 1972, Medicare added coverage for manual manipulation of the spine, which marked the first time chiropractic physicians could receive reimbursement for services to Medicare patients. Since that time, Medicare patients have been required to pay for all other services performed by chiropractic physicians, including services required by Medicare (i.e. examinations).

Illinois Chiropractic Society Works with American Medical Association (AMA)

The Illinois Chiropractic Society (ICS) has been working with the American Medical Association (AMA) in 2018 to clarify problematic language published in 2007 in the CPT® Assistant. The ICS noted that the 2007 guidance was overly inclusive in the number and types of services bundled as part of chiropractic manipulative treatment (CMT). We are happy to report that the AMA has recently revised this language to remove from the CMT narrative some of the elements that are more appropriately characterized as part of a patient re-evaluation.
