Bill 119 s 106, also known as the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act, aims to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to expand Medicare coverage to include all physicians' services provided by doctors of chiropractic within the scope of their license. This bill seeks to ensure that Medicare beneficiaries have access to chiropractic care as an alternative treatment option for various health conditions.
Under the current Medicare system, chiropractic services are limited and not fully covered, which can create barriers for patients seeking this type of care. By expanding coverage to include all services provided by doctors of chiropractic, this bill aims to improve access to chiropractic care for Medicare beneficiaries and potentially reduce healthcare costs by promoting preventive and non-invasive treatment options.
The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act is designed to address the growing demand for alternative and holistic healthcare options and recognizes the important role that chiropractors play in the healthcare system. This bill is non-partisan and focuses on improving healthcare access and options for Medicare beneficiaries without imposing additional costs or restrictions.
Overall, Bill 119 s 106 seeks to modernize Medicare coverage to better meet the needs of patients and promote a more inclusive and comprehensive healthcare system.
