KCA Leadership Learns and Connects at ChiroCongress
Kansas Chiropractic Association leadership made the trip to Louisville for the ChiroCongress Convention, joining state leaders from across the country for a few days of connection and shared learning. Dr. Alvin Schwerdtfager (KCA President), Dr. Logan Null (KCA Vice President), Dr. Rebekah Cates (KCA Secretary & Treasurer), and Dr. Travis Oller (KCA Executive Director) spent their time trading ideas with fellow association leaders and bringing home fresh strategies to support Kansas doctors. We’re grateful for their commitment to strengthening the profession, both at home and nationally.
Would Your Billing Patterns Survive an AI-Powered Audit?
Your billing tells a story long before an auditor requests your records. In this article, Dr. Ray Foxworth explores how Medicare uses advanced analytics to spot unusual billing patterns—and why individualized documentation matters. Discover practical ways to review your claims, identify potential gaps, and prepare your practice before a records request arrives.
Add your voice to the profession!
The Chiropractic Engagement Study Surveys are open for input from the profession! The purpose of this study is to better understand the factors influencing Doctors of Chiropractic and student DCs in their decisions to engage or not engage with state or national chiropractic associations in the United States.
Survey closes November 22, 2026.
VA Chiropractic Claims are Getting a New Look
Some chiropractors treating Veterans through the VA Community Care Network are seeing CMT claims denied for a reason they may not have encountered before. The underlying billing rule isn’t new, but how it is being enforced appears to be changing.
Dr. Evan Gwilliam breaks down what is happening, which claims are being affected, and what chiropractic offices should review now to avoid preventable VA claim denials.

Kansas Chiropractors Have a Duty to Report Infectious Diseases
Did you know Kansas chiropractors are required by law to report certain infectious diseases, including some cases that are only suspected? A recent member question involving a patient who tested positive for Campylobacter highlighted a reporting responsibility that many chiropractors may not be familiar with.
Our latest member article explains when you are required to report, which diseases require reporting within four or 24 hours, who to contact, and how to submit a report. We also address the special urgency of suspected measles cases and the legal protections available to chiropractors who report in good faith.
