ACA has created and collected a wealth of valuable and time-saving resources, all of which are yours as an ACA member. Among the resources are coding clarifications, issue briefs, customizable clinic forms and more. Scroll down to see all the information and tools we’ve developed for you.
ACA advocates for appropriate coverage of chiropractic services that have significant importance to the membership at large. ACA opposes restrictive practice guidelines that oversimplify the process of individual patient management and abrogate the professional judgments that are often only possible within the private boundaries of a direct patient-doctor relationship.
ACA Practice Resources are developed to provide information to the membership on topics of interest related to coding, reimbursement, coverage and practice management. New resources are published on a regular basis to inform members of various practice management matters.
In cases of coverage disputes, ACA is unable to respond to specific inquiries or intervene on our members’ behalf. Individual insurance companies’ policies vary, and ACA encourages providers to carefully review their contract with the insurance company and their guidelines prior to submitting a claim so as to understand any restrictions or discrepancies. However, ACA maintains that patient management decisions should be made for sound clinical reasons with a mindful appreciation of the cost implications of care and that doctors should avoid overutilization of services for financial benefit.

ACA provides infographics, fact sheets for patients, office art and more to help inform the public about the benefits of chiropractic care.
ACA often receives concerns from providers regarding reduced fees or fee schedule changes implemented by insurers. ACA is a nonprofit professional association and vigilantly follows anti-trust regulations, which forbid discussion or organization about fees and pricing information between providers and other groups.
The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) is the largest professional chiropractic organization in the United States. ACA attracts the most principled and accomplished chiropractors, who understand that it takes more to be called an ACA chiropractor.
