HB 1533 -- Health Insurance

Co-Sponsors:  Portwood, Carnahan, Monaco, Naeger, Bartle, Scheve,
Rizzo, Kelly (27), Enz, Cunningham, Reinhart

This bill requires health carriers to include chiropractic care
as part of their basic health care services and allow direct
access to chiropractors within a provider's network.  The bill
prohibits a health carrier's gatekeeper from misinforming
enrollees about the availability of chiropractic care.  In
addition, the bill prohibits health carriers from discriminating
against chiropractors through accessibility, fees, coverage
limits, practice parameters, or utilization reviews.
