Summary
The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2022 aims to expand the scope of services that Medicare beneficiaries can receive from chiropractors. Currently, Medicare only covers manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation; this bill would allow Medicare to pay for all services a chiropractor is licensed to provide under state law, such as diagnostic imaging and other non-surgical treatments. For citizens, this change would provide greater flexibility in managing musculoskeletal health and reduce out-of-pocket costs for patients who currently pay for these additional chiropractic services themselves.
