🌟 Medicare and FUTURE Medicare recipients: WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🌟
The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act has been reintroduced in the U.S. House and Senate. We need you to contact our state reps to encourage their support of this bill!
What will modernizing chiropractic care do for you, as a Medicare beneficiary?
Great question!
➡️ This bill would ensure patient access to all Medicare covered services that chiropractors are licensed to provide.
➡️➡️ In South dakota, this means that ✨if this bill were to pass✨, Medicare would cover the initial exam, any re-examinations, and therapy at their chiropractors office.
➡️ The current law for Medicare coverage for chiropractors has been in place since 1972. 🤯
➡️ This bill does not add new services to Medicare! It is simply allowing patient choice when selecting a provider for their musculoskeletal and spinal complaints.
“The bipartisan and bicameral legislation ensures Medicare patients have full access to chiropractic care.”
The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act will allow Medicare beneficiaries access to the chiropractic profession’s broad-based, non-drug approach to pain management, which includes manual manipulation of the spine and extremities, evaluation and management services, diagnostic imaging and utilization of other non-drug approaches that have become an important strategy in national efforts to stem the epidemic of prescription opioid overuse and abuse.
The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act:
Is bipartisan legislation that provides patient access to all Medicare-covered benefits allowable under a chiropractor’s state licensure.
🌟South Dakota has one of the best scope of practices for chiropractors in the entire nation! 🌟
In a world where we have a massive opioid crisis that is resulting in over 200 deaths per day (per CDC 2023 reportings), IT IS TIME for Medicare to treat chiropractors with fairness and Medicare beneficiaries to fight this fight! 🫶
