Bill Summary
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide Medicare coverage for all physicians' services furnished by doctors of chiropractic within the scope of their license, and for other purposes. This bill expands Medicare coverage of chiropractic services to include all services provided by chiropractors, rather than only subluxation corrections through manual manipulation of the spine.
AI Summary
This bill, the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2019, aims to expand Medicare coverage of chiropractic services to include all services provided by chiropractors, rather than just manual manipulation of the spine to correct subluxations. The bill finds that the current, outdated statute restricts Medicare beneficiaries to a single chiropractic service, while private insurance and other federal health programs have evolved to provide more comprehensive chiropractic coverage. The purpose of the bill is to bring Medicare chiropractic coverage in line with these other programs and recognize chiropractors as physicians under Medicare for any services within their licensed scope of practice.
