medicare & chiropractic coverage

Why is Medicare Different?
Medicare has very specific rules for chiropractic care. Unlike other insurance, chiropractors are considered “mandatory providers,” which means we cannot opt out or simply give patients a superbill to submit. Medicare only covers spinal adjustments for active treatment (not exams, x-rays, or wellness care), and all claims must go directly through Medicare. Because of these regulations, we’re unable to provide superbills or see patients who plan to submit chiropractic services to Medicare.
