Latest action on S. 106: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects Medicare patients, licensed chiropractors, and the federal health officials who run Medicare. Patients could have more covered chiropractic care. Chiropractors could bill Medicare for more services if they meet the new training rule.
Why this matters: Medicare patients have limited chiropractic coverage today, and this bill could make more visits or services payable. That could give older adults and people with disabilities more choices for some muscle and joint care. It could also raise questions about Medicare costs, state-by-state differences, and how closely the new services are tracked.
Key provisions in S. 106
- Medicare would treat chiropractors more like physicians for covered services. This would apply only to services they are licensed to provide under state law.
- Medicare would drop its current narrow rule for chiropractic care. It would no longer limit coverage to manual spine adjustments for a subluxation, which means a spinal joint problem.
- Medicare would still cover spine adjustments for a subluxation. Chiropractors would not need the new training for that existing benefit.
- Medicare would cover added chiropractic services only after one extra step. The chiropractor must be verified once for attending a federal online documentation training or similar electronic course.
- The Secretary of Health and Human Services would build the training and the attendance check. That federal official runs the department that oversees Medicare.
