HB0029

Tennessee HB0029 amends payment rules for chiropractic physicians, ensuring equal reimbursement with other physicians for listed services.

Tennessee HB0029 amends the Tennessee Code to change the terminology from "chiropractor" to "chiropractic physician" and updates reimbursement rules for chiropractic services. It mandates that health insurance entities must not discriminate in reimbursement calculations or amounts between chiropractic physicians and other licensed physicians for services listed in nationally recognized code books. The act also allows the use of national uniform relative value units (RVUs) for unlisted services. The changes do not apply to the TennCare and CoverKids programs.
