A BILL 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.
AI Summary
This bill, the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2023, aims to expand Medicare coverage for services provided by doctors of chiropractic within the scope of their state-issued licenses. The bill amends the Social Security Act to broaden the definition of "physician" to include doctors of chiropractic, allowing them to provide a wider range of services covered by Medicare. Additionally, the bill places certain limitations on payment for chiropractic services, requiring doctors to complete an educational webinar verified by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, or limiting coverage to manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation.
