‘Hidden fee’: As of Dec 14, Medicare will only pay for 18 visits to a chiropractor - no maintenance is covered.
Boo-Hoo. In my part of Canada, absolutely NO chiropractic visits are covered (we USED to get 12 per year, with a small co-pay).
Because the AMA and the CMA consider Chiropractic a "Quackery", revel in the knowledge that you too will soon enjoy the pleasure of paying the full-tilt-boogie for your snap-crackle-pop treatment.
I personally don't mind that much, since I visit my cruncher between three and seven times a year. At $55/ 10 minute visit, it's worth every penny.
BTW, if your cruncher has buffaloed you into bi-weekly "maintenance" visits, get a new one. You're being scammed. I know, because I was born with a spinal deformity that surgery cannot fix, but chiropractic eases.
