If you would like to help chiropractors in the state of MN- you can send an email to dhs.spa.comments@state.mn.us before 10/17. I’ll include my email below - feel free to modify it for your use:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the proposed termination of chiropractic care coverage for individuals aged 21 and over under Medicaid and MinnesotaCare in the state of Minnesota.
As a healthcare provider, I witness firsthand the significant benefits chiropractic care provides to patients—particularly those who are disabled or from low-income, working-class communities. Eliminating access to these services for an estimated 20,000 individuals would be a substantial setback to public health and wellbeing.
Chiropractic care offers a safe, cost-effective alternative for managing pain and musculoskeletal conditions. It not only alleviates discomfort but also helps individuals return to work and daily activities more quickly—reducing the need for more invasive and expensive interventions, including opioid prescriptions.
I strongly urge you to reconsider this decision and continue supporting chiropractic care as a covered service under DHS, Medicaid, and MinnesotaCare. Removing this essential benefit would be a disservice to the very populations these programs are designed to protect.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
