The lucky winner, William Weber Esq., is a strong supporter of chiropractic and currently representing several DCs in an HMO antitrust lawsuit.
The foundation is raising funds that will build a central headquarters for the organization. For more information or to make donations, contact the Universal Chiropractic Foundation Inc., c/o Dr. Todd Herold, DC, 777 West End Avenue Suite 1B, New York, NY 10025, telephone (212) 662-7719.
The J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation of Tulsa, Oklahoma has offered a $20,000 grant challenge to Logan College of Chiropractic which is contingent upon the college reaching a $300,000 campaign goal by July 31, 1995. The $300,000 goal was prompted by an earlier $60,000 grant challenge to Logan from the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Education (FACE).
The J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation was established in 1948 by the late John E. and Lottie Mabee, both natives of Missouri. The Foundation is one of the top 40 major foundations in the U.S. with assets of over one-half billion dollars.
Recent laws in New Jersey and California represent a disturbing trend that will negatively impact a practice’s ability to collect monies from patients, as well as expose them to significant penalties if the practice does not follow the mandatory guidelines to a T. Please be aware that a similar law may be coming to your state. The time to act is before the law is passed.
With estimates showing over 30 million Americans affected by peripheral neuropathy – and a significant portion underdiagnosed – it’s increasingly likely that chiropractors are already treating these patients. What’s missing is structured recognition, comprehensive management and targeted tools to slow progression, improve function and support systemic health.
Each year, ICD-10-CM is updated on Oct. 1. For 2026, there are 74,179 total codes, with 487 additions, 28 deletions and 38 revisions. Code changes are based on date of service, not the claim submission date. Services performed on/after Oct. 1 must use the new codes. While no changes affect the common spinal or extraspinal codes most frequently used by DCs, several updates may still affect your claims – particularly for comorbidities, referred pain, or trauma cases.
