Madeira Chiropractic Saves Money for HMO's When I was at the World Federation of Chiropractic 7th Biennial Congress in Orlando at the beginning of May, I came across an interesting research paper. This 4 year study of 1.7 million patients in a California HMO was divided into 2 groups: 1 million without chiropractic coverage and 700,000 with chiropractic coverage. The researchers discovered that chiropractic care in the managed- care setting was more cost effective on a number of levels: + Total health-care costs were 12% lower for Chiropractic patients. * Low-back pain costs were 28% lower for Chiropractic patients. + Chiropractic patients had slightly more than half the inpatient stays. + Chiropractic patients had about 1/2 the MRIs. » Chiropractic patients had 25% less low-back surgeries. » Chiropractic patients had 10% less x-rays. According to Dr. Nelson, these findings could translate into $47.5 million savings over fouryears if everyone in the HMO was provided with chiropractic coverage. This study shows that adding a Chiropractic benefit does not add to the total amount of care (and therefore costs), but provides a lower-cost, more effective alternative for patients. If your HMO is not including Chiropractic as a core benefit, they are wasting your money and your health. Nelson CF, Metz D, Legoratta A, LaBrot T.
