With the input of many DCs the weekly chats are dedicated to topical discussions covering many interesting and challenging chiropractic topics: pediatrics; research issues; appropriateness of care issues; chiropractic graduates' dilemmas; where is the science in health care, e-mail etiquette, and many other timely topics.

July 2: Clinical Rounds -- Headaches
July 9: Chiropractic History -- The Last Hundred Years
July 16: The Party in Washington and the Next Hundred Years
July 23: Pediatric Chiropractic -- More or Less Dangerous than medical care?

Corporate Medicine’s Attack on Chiropractic

UnitedHealthcare Removing Prior Authorization for Chiropractic
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.
