Summary of Bill HR 1610
Bill 118 HR 1610, also known as the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2023, aims to expand Medicare coverage for chiropractic services. The bill seeks to update the current Medicare program to include coverage for chiropractic care, which is currently limited in scope.

This would help to address disparities in healthcare access and ensure that all Medicare beneficiaries have access to the care they need. Overall, the Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2023 aims to modernize Medicare coverage to better meet the needs of beneficiaries and improve access to chiropractic care. The bill is currently under consideration in Congress and has the potential to have a significant impact on the healthcare landscape for Medicare beneficiaries.
