A hearing before the Military Personnel Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee on H.R. 608, the bill which would allow DCs to be commissioned as health care officers in the military, is scheduled for April 30th (see "Congressional Hearing Set for Commissioning DCs in Military in the April 10, 1992 "DC").
The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) and the International Chiropractors Association (ICA) are urging all DCs who are veterans to write to their veterans' associations in support of H.R. 608. Congressman Lane Evans (D-Illinois), the bill's sponsor in the House, is currently writing to all of the veterans' associations in Washington, D.C. to ask for their support.
The ACA and ICA are also encouraging all DCs in the military, and those in the military who have benefited from chiropractic care, to write statements of support for the bill. If the ACA and ICA receive these statement in time, they can present them at the April 30th subcommittee hearing.
Back pain? Blame the psoas. Seems as if everybody wants to dive headfirst into their psoas at the first sign of trouble with the lumbopelvic-hip region.

There is another big player on the scene: the iliacus.
Two closely related viruses of herpes simplex, HSV-1 and HSV-2, can infect the human body. HSV-1 mostly infects the gums and skin, although it can cause more serious infection in the brain. HSV-2 mostly infects around the genital area. Infection with the virus can be unsightly and painful, especially for HSV-2.
What’s the simplest way to ensure prompt payment for your claims? Ensure that the insurance payer has no reason to deny them. Submitting a “clean claim” from the start can have a more significant impact on your net collections than any other step in your billing workflow. Net collections and accounts receivable (AR) can improve significantly when claims are clean from the start.
