CCE Planing Panel Meets in Chicago

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The Council on Chiropractic Education's panel on planning (POP) met Aug. 18-19 for a strategic planning session on the council's future.

CEE President James Winterstein invited key members of the chiropractic community to provide input during the planning meeting, where a draft of a "white paper" was begun. The participants have been invited to attend a second POP meeting in Chicago, Nov. 4, 1993, to discuss that draft. The finished document will be presented to the Council for consideration at a workshop during the CCE's January 1994 meeting.

Results of a feasibility study, conducted by the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS) for possible accreditation of paraprofessional and postgraduate education, were also presented and discussed. The consensus of the meeting's participants was that the CCE should consider expanding its scope to include the accreditation of paraprofessional and specialty/postgraduate education.

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. Corporate medicine's endgame wants only two things from chiropractic: all our patients and all our money – and it is getting it.

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.
