Arizona SB1554 amends insurance practices and chiropractic care regulations.

Arizona SB1554 amends unfair insurance claim settlement practices, prohibiting insurers from denying claims without substantial facts or offering settlements based on misleading advertising. It also updates chiropractic practice limitations, allowing chiropractors to perform diagnostic imaging and physical examinations, while still prohibiting them from prescribing medicine, performing surgery, or practicing obstetrics. The bill ensures equal treatment of physicians in insurance coverage and mandates the deposit of civil penalties into the state general fund.
