Be a Chiropractor in Medicare

Be a Chiropractor in Medicare........Where in the federal law does it say we are supposed to “treat” our patient's pain and symptoms like other health care providers? It doesn't!
The federal law says our job as a Chiropractor is to locate and correct vertebral subluxations. So why do some Chiropractors “treat” their patient's symptoms until the symptoms are gone calling the adjustments “maintenance" or "wellness care” and not bill those adjustments for reimbursement? When the Chiropractor adjusts the Medicare patient, correcting vertebral subluxations, that is the covered service in Medicare. The doctor’s job is to learn how to “document” the need for the Chiropractic adjustment so our senior patients are reimbursed.
