Vendor support of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (FCP) seems to be on a perpetual upswing these days, with Drucker Labs, Future Health Software and ChiroHealthUSA the latest to pledge financial support to the foundation's ongoing positive press campaign. Drucker Labs recently pledged $12,000 to the FCP campaign, Future Health pledged $10,000 and ChiroHealthUSA pledged $6,000.
It was only last month (March 12 issue) that we reported on the financial commitments made by four other vendors: Erchonia Medical, ScripHessco, Chiro One Wellness Centers, and Tempur-Pedic International, who pledged a total of $76,000 to the foundation.

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.
