Medical assistance and MinnesotaCare coverage of chiropractic services modification

This bill modifies MinnesotaCare and medical assistance coverage for chiropractic services by removing the previous age restriction (which limited coverage to those under 21). It now covers chiropractic services for all eligible individuals, including adults, with a limit of 24 visits per year unless prior authorization is obtained for more. Coverage specifically includes spinal pain treatment, manual therapy, and spinal manipulation, while x-rays are restricted to full-spine exams necessary for diagnosing subluxation. The changes take effect January 1, 2027, or after federal approval.
