ACA in Action: Supporting the Profession in New York

The NYSCA would like to express our deepest gratitude to the American Chiropractic Association and New York Chiropractic College for their support and advocacy regarding a proposal from the New York State Workers' Compensation Board to limit DCs' workers' compensation reimbursement.

In their recent letter, the ACA urged the Board to reconsider their proposal. Citing numerous cost effectiveness studies related to the services provided by DCs, ACA stated that such a proposal "detracts from the aims of New York's workers' compensation reforms, which include patient-centered, evidence informed and cost-effective care." ACA opposes the establishment of any system which unfairly limits one profession compared to other authorized providers and vows to voice this view strongly whenever and wherever necessary.

As always, the NYSCA and Council, through the Joint Legislative Task Force, continue to work for protecting practice rights and the services provided under New York State Workers’ Compensation. We will also keep you, our membership, informed as updates occur.
