Learn more about the value of ACA's tangible member benefits.
ACA is Your Partner in Insurance Relations
As your advocate, ACA provides many benefits to the profession, including access to our online Chiropractic Network Action Center (C.N.A.C.), ERISA education and training, and sample HIPAA forms. ACA is in regular contact with insurance companies to improve the claims processing system and to educate insurers.
All DCs benefit from our litigation against ACN and Group, our Insurance Appeals Initiative, and our Insurance Local Liaison program. We have representation on AMA CPT and RUC (committees that create and value CPT codes) and at workers compensation research meetings. We offer online educational materials for insurance professionals.
As your partner in practice, ACA members also receive exclusive access to our online Insurance Coding Resource Center, where we answer all member questions sent to insinfo@acatoday.org. This online center also includes Practice Partners articles and our new legal toolkit. Only ACA member doctors receive direct contact by ACA on their behalf with insurers to resolve reimbursement issues.
ACA is Your Partner in Government Relations
As your advocate, ACA provides many benefits to the profession, including our efforts on National Healthcare Reform. The entire profession gains by our participation in the Medicare Demonstration project and our coding, regulatory and legislative alerts. All DCs can use our online Chiropractic (Legislative) Action Center.
ACA’s grassroots lobbying successes for the benefit of all DCs include the defeat of S 1955 (which would have eliminated state-enacted patient protection laws allowing chiropractic care), victory in HR 1470 (that would expand chiropractic care to members of the military in all major VA medical facilities). We continue to support HR 1554 (that would ensure chiropractic care in all DoD medical facilities to retired members of the armed forces and their families).
As your partner in practice, ACA members also receive exclusive access to our online Medicare Information Page, with program summaries and members-only tips. Only ACA member doctors can access our Medicare Appeals information page and use our Medicare Fee Calculator.
ACA is Your Partner in Clinic Bottom Line

Only ACA member doctors earn a 30% discount on ACA products & services, including our popular Coding Solutions Manual and Clinical Documentation Manual.

All DCs gain by our representation at national anti-fraud meetings that educate the public and through our online information on health and chiropractic for consumers/patients. As your partner in practice, ACA members also exclusively receive access to complimentary “Healthy Living” Fact Sheet handouts for patients and complimentary PR tools and tips to use in your community and with media.
