Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2025

# Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** Currently, Medicare only covers a limited chiropractic service: manual spinal manipulation to treat subluxation (misalignment of vertebrae). This bill would expand Medicare coverage to include all services that licensed chiropractors are legally permitted to provide under state law. This means services beyond spinal manipulation—such as other treatments for musculoskeletal conditions—could potentially be covered by Medicare. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily affect Medicare beneficiaries (seniors 65+ and some disabled individuals), chiropractors, and the Medicare program's budget.

Seniors would have access to a broader range of chiropractic services, while chiropractors would have expanded opportunities to bill Medicare for their services. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. It has not advanced to become law.
