Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2025
Summary
The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2025 would broaden what Medicare covers when patients receive chiropractic care. Currently, Medicare only covers chiropractic services for correcting spinal subluxations through manual manipulation of the spine. If enacted, this bill would expand coverage to include all services that chiropractors are licensed to provide, potentially giving Medicare beneficiaries access to a wider range of chiropractic treatments.
The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the Senate in January 2025 and referred to committee. It has not yet been voted on by the full chamber. If it becomes law, seniors and disabled individuals covered by Medicare could potentially access additional chiropractic services beyond the current limitations, though the specific services covered would depend on how the bill is ultimately written and implemented.
