Chiropractor scope of practice expansion bill in Congress

By The DO Staff

10.20.21

The AOA, the New York State Osteopathic Medical Society and the Washington Osteopathic Medical Association recently sent letters to Congress opposing a bill (H.R. 2654) that would authorize chiropractors to use the title “physician” under the Medicare Part B program and be paid the same rate for manual manipulation of the spine as DOs or MDs, as well any for other medical service they are licensed to perform.
