Better Access to Chiropractors to Keep our Veterans Healthy Act (BACK Veterans Health Act)

H.R. 917, the BACK Veterans Health Act, would expand the healthcare options available to veterans by officially including chiropractic care and preventative examinations within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical benefits package. The bill would allow eligible veterans to seek treatment directly from a licensed doctor of chiropractic without needing a prior referral from another healthcare provider. By removing these administrative barriers, the legislation aims to provide veterans with easier access to rehabilitative services for musculoskeletal issues within their existing VA coverage.
