Does Medicare Supplement Plan G Cover Chiropractic?

Medicare Supplement Plan G may cover the 20% Part B coinsurance for chiropractor services not covered by Original Medicare. Robert Bache says, “Yes, Medicare Part B does cover chiropractic services as long as it is deemed medically necessary.”

According to the CMS , Medicare Part B covers 80% of chiropractic services for the “manipulation of the spine if medically necessary to correct a subluxation.” Furthermore, you can go as many times to the chiropractor as long as it’s medically necessary. There is no cap on those visits.
