Medicare will only cover the code for an "adjustment", which is 98940. They do not cover anything else, so you should make sure your D.C. is aware of that before he/she begins your treatment. Otherwise you could wind up spending more money than you're prepared for. This is a good point you may want to bring up with your congressperson. Chiropractors perform careful examinations, radiographic procedures, and other diagnostic procedures that should be reimbursed just like other health-care providers. Chiropractors are trained in physiotherapy and should be reimbursed for implementing these therapies when appropriate. If you have been paying your taxes your whole life the government should not leave you with the bill for your needed care.
