Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Steube, W. Gregory [R-FL-17]

Introduced

Summary

Expands Medicare recognition of doctors of chiropractic as "physicians" so Medicare would cover any chiropractic service a State license allows. This bill would let Medicare pay for more than the current single spinal manipulation benefit when state law authorizes other chiropractic functions or actions.

Show full summary
  • Medicare beneficiaries and seniors: Could gain broader access to chiropractic treatments beyond spine manipulation when those treatments are allowed by State law. This may increase non-surgical options for pain and mobility care.
  • Doctors of chiropractic: Could bill Medicare for any services their State license permits after a one-time verification step. Payment requires either completing a Secretary-designed educational webinar or the service being the existing manual spinal manipulation benefit.
  • Medicare program and coverage rules: The bill would replace the current narrow federal standard with a State-licensure test for allowed chiropractic services. It keeps a specific payment limit only for services without the required verification.

Wider Medicare chiropractic coverage with conditions

If enacted, Medicare would cover chiropractor services that state law allows, not only spinal manipulation. To get paid by Medicare, a chiropractor would need a one-time verification that they took an educational documentation webinar. Without that verification, Medicare would only pay for manual spinal manipulation to correct a subluxation. These rules would apply only to services done in the state where the chiropractor is licensed. The bill text does not set a start date.
