Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

As of Oct. 24, chiropractic students who participated in the fall 2003 Part I, Part II, Part III, Acupuncture and/or Physiotherapy exams administered by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) can view their scores online by visiting the NBCE Web site (www.nbce.org) and selecting the "Online Access to Scores" link. Students will need their NBCE identification number in order to locate their scores.

Students who took the NBCE Part IV exam in November will be able to access their scores online as of Dec. 26, 2003. Even though scores reported online are not official, the goal is to get scores to students as soon as possible. Examinees will continue to receive written confirmation of their scores by regular mail.

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.
