Chiropractic Networks Action Center

Through the information ACA receives from our members we are able to inform different departments of insurance and other regulatory agencies of the practices of chiropractic networks and the effects those networks have on patient care.  Transmitting this information to departments of insurance is important because different departments of insurance have the authority to impose fines on insurers for state law violations. 
 
ACA has been in the process of collecting data for use by regulators in the form of non-sanitized patient health records from providers whose patients have been affected by the practices of chiropractic networks. Complete patient health records allow regulatory authorities to follow the role the patient’s insurance coverage played in the care the patient received.  Full patient health records also allow regulatory agencies to see the repetitive actions of chiropractic networks which, in our view, do not seem to take into account patients’ individual needs based on variances in comorbidity/diagnosis combinations.
