🚨🚨WE NEED YOUR HELP🚨🚨
The projected 2026 MN State Budget will eliminate chiropractic services for MN Medicaid/MNCare.
Effective January 1, 2026: Chiropractic care will no longer be covered under Medical Assistance/Medicaid and MinnesotaCare/MNCare for adults age 21 and older.
It applies to all MA and MNCare plans, including third-party plans such as UCare, HealthPartners, Blue Cross Blue Shield/Blue Plus, PrimeWest, UnitedHealthcare, Medica, and all others.
What this means:
- If you are age 21 or older and on Medical Assistance/Medicaid or MinnesotaCare/MNCare, your visits will not be covered starting January 1, 2026. You will be responsible for all associated costs of care.
- This cut removes access to chiropractic care for thousands of Minnesotans who rely on it to manage pain, avoid medications, and stay active.
These adults need non-pharmaceutical options for pain management without access barriers. Without value-based chiropractic care, they will likely seek higher-cost alternatives and healthcare costs will go up rather than down.
Please join us, and other chiropractic clinics across the state, in reaching out to Governor Walz, our Senators, and Representatives to ask for this benefit be reinstated for people that have Medicaid/MN Care coverage.
