Does Medicare cover chiropractic care? Original Medicare Part B has a limited benefit for qualifying spinal adjustments to correct a subluxation. It does not cover every service a chiropractor offers. Our Somerville team can help you identify what to check and discuss expected costs for your visit.
According to Medicare.gov, Part B covers spinal adjustments to correct a subluxation when the stated requirements are met. It does not cover other services or tests a chiropractor orders, including X-rays and massage therapy. After the Part B deductible, the patient generally pays 20% of the Medicare-approved amount. Other coverage and the provider’s assignment status can affect your final cost.
Care at Cordima Chiropractic Center is provided by Dr. Christopher Cordima, a Somerville chiropractor practicing since 1988. Insurance benefits and care recommendations are reviewed for your own situation.
Have your current insurance card, member ID, group number if shown, and any referral or authorization information ready when you call. If you have more than one health plan, tell our team about each one.
Verification of benefits is an estimate, not a guarantee of payment.
Check your deductible, copayment or coinsurance, visit limits, and any referral or authorization requirements. Ask about each proposed service separately: a chiropractic benefit does not mean that every treatment or program is covered. Our team will explain recommended care and expected costs before you decide how to proceed.

View all listed insurance plansNo. Original Medicare’s Part B chiropractic benefit is limited to qualifying spinal adjustments to correct a subluxation. Ask about each recommended service separately rather than assume a general chiropractic benefit covers it.
Give us that plan’s current member card. Its network, referral rules, and cost sharing need to be checked for the specific service. Do not use Original Medicare cost information as an exact estimate for your Advantage plan.
