AI Summary
This bill, the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2022, aims to expand Medicare coverage for all services provided by doctors of chiropractic within the scope of their license. It would remove the current restrictions that limit Medicare coverage to only manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation. The bill also requires doctors of chiropractic to attend an educational webinar or similar training designed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services in order to receive Medicare payment for their services, except for manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation. The purpose of this bill is to align Medicare coverage for chiropractic services with that provided by other federal health programs and private insurance.
