By now, many of you have heard that Regence BlueCross BlueShield (RBCBS) is no longer paying DCs for physical medicine, rehabilitation services and physiotherapy modalities.
�This is not a rumor — written denials are showing up, and a representative even confirmed it to our Insurance Relations Chair
Let’s get the facts straight:�1️⃣ These services are within our scope.�2️⃣ These are all essential health benefits.�3️⃣ The OCA fought to insert federal Section 2706a provider non-discrimination provisions into Oregon law and administrative rule - AND WON
As a consequence, OCA believes BCBS is violating Oregon Law and Administrative Code 836-053-0012(8), both of which we fought hard to establish to protect our rights and our patients’ access to care. This change is sudden, misguided, and unacceptable — and we’re not standing down.
💪 The OCA is teaming up with the Chiropractic Defense Council, the American Chiropractic Association, ChiroCongress, and the OBCE to push back.
Here’s what you need to do right now:�✅ Keep treating and billing as usual. Once this is resolved, those codes should be back-paid.�✅ File complaints with the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation.�✅ Join the fight.
The OCA is small but fierce — and we’re fighting for every chiropractor in Oregon, member or not. But we can’t do it alone.
�👉 Join your state association.�👉 Support the OCA PAC.�👉 Stand together.
This could be a turning point for chiropractic care in Oregon. If we face it united, we’ll come out stronger on the other side.
Stay tuned — updates are coming as this situation evolves.
