Is Chiropractic covered by Medicare?

Generally, chiropractic is not covered by Medicare. However, chiropractic is an allied health discipline covered by the Medicare Chronic Disease Management Program (formerly Enhanced Primary Care Plan). This is a government based initiative allowing patients with chronic pain to access health care, including up to 5 chiropractic visits per year. These visits can be claimed 100% back on Medicare. This requires a referral and assessment by your G.P.
