Wiki Chiropractic Services

Good morning!
I'm trying to find documentation on the Medicare website stating that they will or will not pay for office visits (i.e., 99213) rendered by a Chiropractor. I believe I found what I was looking for, but I was wondering if there was anything more definitive out there. I've got the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 15 (Rev. 138, 02-15-11). Article 204.

If someone has anything else, could you please let me know?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Sarah,

It appears that CMT only is paid by Medicare.

I know from experience that Medicare will not pay for office visits. If the Patient has a secondary insurance then most likley that insurance would pick it up..
