Home Provider Part B Education

The Medicare Chiropractic Demonstration, as mandated by Section 651 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA,) has been conducted in our state for the last two years and will end on March 31, 2007.

Brandeis University, under contract with CMS to conduct an independent evaluation of the Demonstration, is currently compiling data regarding patient survey responses, service utilization, and provider participation. Additionally, Brandeis is interviewing key players in the Demonstration to obtain their impressions.

An interim report of Brandeis' findings will be sent to Congress in Spring, 2008. The final report is due in late 2009.
