LACC plans to hold a "user friendly" seminar on the Mercy Center Guidelines March 27-28, 1993 on the college's Whittier campus, and in a second location, San Francisco, April 17-18, 1993.

The seminar presenters were all involved in the Mercy Center Conference: Dr. Dan Hansen, of the LACC postgraduate faculty, and Dr. Alan Adams, LACC resource faculty member, both served on the Mercy Conference steering committee and were commission members; Dr. Robert Mootz was a Mercy Conference commission member; and Ms. Laura Dressler was a corporate (OUM) Mercy Conference observer.

The seminar is intended to instruct how to properly use the Guidelines for Chiropractic Quality Assurance and Practice Parameters, informally known as the Mercy Guidelines.

Corporate Medicine’s Attack on Chiropractic
Corporate Medicine’s Attack on Chiropractic

The chiropractic profession is under a sophisticated and relentless assault from corporate medicine, so strategically executed that most don’t even recognize it happening. The campaign is powerful, calculated, and well-funded, demonstrated by its covert tactics and the millions being invested to carry it out.

Chiropractic Management of a Recalled Cervical Disc Implant
Chiropractic Management of a Recalled Cervical Disc Implant

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
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.
