If this is true, can it be POSSIBLE that there would be changes occurring in other areas of treatments parameters as well? How is it that ACU gets a fee increase, yet physical med/Chiro/Neuro PT fee schedules have NOT changed / remained the same since 1995?
I believe that this amendment in fair and justifiable. However, as the law stands now, it is clear that, as a matter of law, a licensed acupunctuirst is only entitled to the chiropractic rate. The Appellate Division, Second Department has made this clear on numerous occasions. There should be no debate about this issue. I am surprised that plaintiff’s continue to argue otherwise. If they should happen to prevail, it is only because the judge or arbitrator is misinformed about the law or feels sympathy with the acupuncturist. However, I do believe that the proposed amendment is fair.
The fee schedule is generally very low. 95% of the rates are less than 1/3 of the amounts paid by major medical. Then everyone wonders why no-fault providers tend not to be A students.

Wild rumors are abound that chiropractors might see an increase one of these years. It is really disgusting that they only get $33.70 per visit.
