CareSource says these cuts are “not negotiable.” We disagree.

OSCA is actively pushing back—bringing this issue into the public spotlight and escalating it to the Ohio Department of Medicaid.

Thank you to WFMJ for covering how these rate reductions could impact access to chiropractic care across Ohio.

When reimbursement drops, access follows. That means fewer options for patients seeking safe, conservative, cost-effective care.
OSCA is standing with our members—and we’re not done.

Watch the report:.

CareSource, a Medicaid organization, is looking to lower its repayment rate for chiropractors, going from about $21 to $16 per visit. Ally Ross has more information on

Please join OSCA in congratulating Dr. Ron Farabaugh on receiving the American Chiropractic Association’s Chiropractor of the Year Award during Engage 2026 in Washington, D.C.

This is ACA’s highest honor, recognizing exceptional leadership, service, and impact on behalf of the chiropractic profession. Dr. Farabaugh has long been a national voice for advancing chiropractic integration through evidence-based research. His most recent work — a highly anticipated systematic review comparing the cost of chiropractic care and medical care for spine-related musculoskeletal pain — is already shaping conversations about value, access, and the future of MSK care.

Ohio is incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Farabaugh’s vision, scholarship, and advocacy leading the way. Congratulations, Ron — this recognition is well deserved and a testament to your decades of commitment to our profession.

OSCA is on Capitol Hill as part of ACA Engage 2026 advocating for Ohio’s chiropractic physicians and the patients we serve.

We kicked off meetings in Washington, DC with Rep. David Taylor and his staff to discuss H.R. 539 and S. 106 — the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act.

Throughout the week, OSCA members will meet with or deliver materials to all 15 Ohio representatives and both U.S. Senators, reinforcing the value of chiropractic care for Medicare beneficiaries.

Thank you to the doctors representing Ohio chiropractic in Washington. Your advocacy matters.
