Welcome!

The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2019 (HR 3654) would allow Medicare beneficiaries access to the chiropractic profession’s broad-based, non-drug approach to pain management, 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.

HR 3654:

• 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 (D-N.Y.) and Tom Reed (R-N.Y.).

Now is the time to make your voices heard. The ASCA is asking that you act by using one of these three options: email your congressperson and ask them to support HR 3654, ask your patients to contact their congressperson, or meet with your congressperson while they are in their districts.
