Peters and your member of the U.S. House of Representatives can do something about it, but they need to hear from YOU!

Despite being allowed by Michigan’s chiropractic scope of practice to provide other beneficial, medically necessary services, like x-rays, examinations, and physical medicine procedures, Medicare restricts your access to the full range of chiropractic services. This restriction forces patients to pay out of pocket, see another health care provider (adding time and cost to your care), or to go without needed care. 

The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act (H.R. 539/S. 106) is legislation introduced in both chambers of Congress that will allow Medicare beneficiaries to fully access the chiropractic profession’s broad-based, non-drug care. The bill increases access and coverage for Medicare beneficiaries, but it does not add any new services or remove services currently covered under Medicare. 

It is vital that Senators Peters and Slotkin and your member of Congress hear from patients about the importance of increased access to chiropractic care. Email them today and urge them to co-sponsor the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act.
