Illinois’ Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC), National Government Services (NGS), modified its Local Carrier Determination (LCD) for chiropractic services in 2015. This change was significant because it gave chiropractic physicians the ability to appropriately list secondary diagnoses (secondary only to the Medicare required subluxation diagnosis) on the claim forms. This was a significant step towards Medicare provider equality; however, we continue to be reimbursed only for spinal adjustments. Full scope inclusion in Medicare is critical for the chiropractic profession.
