   PCA Member Intel: Why PCA Cannot Negotiate Chiropractic Reimbursement, and What We Can Do

   PCA Member Intel: Why PCA Cannot Negotiate Chiropractic Reimbursement, and What We Can Do Reimbursement is one of the most serious challenges facing Pennsylvania chiropractors, and PCA has heard you loud and clear. Why can’t PCA simply negotiate higher reimbursement rates? Federal antitrust law restricts professional associations from negotiating individual provider fee schedules. That does not mean PCA is standing still. In this episode of The Spinal Chat Podcast, we explain what PCA can legally do to advocate for change. We examine insurer engagement, benefit design, copayments, allowable charges, scope modernization, and the legislative work affecting Pennsylvania chiropractic practices. You will learn: Why PCA cannot negotiate reimbursement rates. How certain copayments can make chiropractic benefits functionally unusable. What PCA is doing with insurers and policymakers. How practices can evaluate their own contracts and reimbursement data. What doctors, patients, and employers can do to support change. Explore the PCA Reimbursement Guide (https://pca-reimbursement-guide-944g3e1.gamma.site/) for practical information and useful tips to help your practice navigate insurance reimbursement. PCA members may also contact the Insurance Help Desk for assistance with billing, reimbursement, payer policies, and other insurance-related concerns.
