ARLINGTON, Virginia -- Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole and Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich will give their perspectives on health care reform at a March 9th luncheon of the American Chiropractic Association's 1995 National Chiropractic Legislative Conference (NCLC).

Senator Dole is a leading candidate for the 1996 GOP presidential nomination. Congressman Gingrich has announced he will not seek the nomination in 1996.

The ACA is touting the conference (March 9-10) as one of the most important conferences of the year. Also speaking at the conference will be senators Tom Harkin (D-IA), John Chafee (R-RI), Strom Thurmond (R-SC), and congressmen Bill Brewster (D-OK) and Bill Thomas (R-CA).

ACA Executive Vice President J. Ray Morgan said it was the "perfect time for DCs to convene in the nation's capitol to send a unified message to the new GOP majority."

Over the past two decades, more than 18 million spinal surgeries have been performed in the United States, and cervical disc replacements represent a fair share of those. Device recalls due to design flaws can place patients in difficult clinical situations, especially those who are symptomatic and reluctant to undergo revision surgery. This case highlights the role of chiropractors in managing complex postsurgical patients, particularly those with recalled spinal implants.

UnitedHealthcare Removing Prior Authorization for Chiropractic

UnitedHealth Group, parent company of UnitedHealthcare, has announced sweeping changes to its prior-authorization (PA) requirements that will eliminate the requirement for chiropractic care and numerous other healthcare services by the end of 2026. Doctors of chiropractic, other providers and patients have long lamented prior authorization requirements because they can delay needed treatment, limit access and even cause some patients not to pursue care.
