To: chiro@... Subject: Urgent Update Regarding HR3654
Dr. Miller,
? ? Have you heard about HR3654? The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2019 would allow Medicare beneficiaries access to the chiropractic profession's broad-based, non-drug approach to healthcare, which includes manual manipulation of the spine and extremities, evaluation and management services, diagnostic imaging and utilization of other non-drug approaches that have become an important strategy in national efforts to stem the epidemic of prescription opioid overuse and abuse. In short, this bill will allow chiropractors to be reimbursed by Medicare for all the services that are allowed by their state laws.
What Does H.R. 3654 Do?
Appropriately defines a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) as a "physician" in the Medicare program.
Provides patient access to all Medicare-covered benefits allowable under a chiropractor's state licensure.
Requires that DCs complete a documentation?webinar.
Is bipartisan legislation, introduced by Reps. Brian Higgins?(0-N.Y.) and Tom Reed(R-N.Y.}
