The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP) is hosting the very first "ChiroThon," a fundraising event for F4CP's "Naturally, Chiropractic" campaign, at this year's The National by FCA. ChiroThon, which is open to the public and will be live streamed across various channels, begins on the evening of Aug. 25 (Thursday) with a kickoff event. It continues throughout the weekend, with live vignettes at the "Fountain of the Future" within the convention, that "will give the audience an opportunity to learn more about the role that chiropractic plays in a variety of ways throughout a person's life," according to the foundation in a press release announcing the inaugural event.
"We are very excited to host the first event of its kind in the profession," stated Kent Greenawalt, chairman and founder of the F4CP. "The ChiroThon is a unique opportunity for the public and the profession to come together and support chiropractic."
To attend ChiroThon, register for FCA's The National (Aug. 25-28 at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Fla.) at thenationalchiro.com if you aren't already registered. If not, visit the F4CP website (F4CP.org) to watch ChiroThon virtually beginning Aug. 25 at 5 p.m. EDT.
Recent laws in New Jersey and California represent a disturbing trend that will negatively impact a practice’s ability to collect monies from patients, as well as expose them to significant penalties if the practice does not follow the mandatory guidelines to a T. Please be aware that a similar law may be coming to your state. The time to act is before the law is passed.
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.
