Governmental Affairs

The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act (H.R. 539) continues to gain bipartisan support in Congress. If passed, the bill would expand Medicare coverage for services provided by Doctors of Chiropractic and improve access to care for Medicare beneficiaries.

There is currently a limited opportunity to demonstrate support for this legislation. Chiropractors are encouraged to contact their members of Congress before July 24.

At its July 9, 2026, meeting, the Kansas Health Care Stabilization Fund (HCSF) Board of Governors nominated and elected Dr. Travis Oller, Executive Director of the Kansas Chiropractic Association, to serve as Vice-Chair of the Board for Fiscal Year 2027.

The Health Care Stabilization Fund plays an important role in Kansas’ healthcare liability system, providing professional liability coverage and helping ensure the availability of healthcare services across the state. The Board of Governors oversees the administration and financial stability of the Fund on behalf of Kansas healthcare providers and the public.

Dr. Oller has served on the HCSF Board since his appointment by the Kansas Insurance Commissioner in 2019 and has served as Vice-Chair since 2022. His election reflects the continued confidence of his fellow board members and ensures that the chiropractic profession maintains a voice in discussions affecting healthcare providers throughout Kansas.

The Kansas Chiropractic Association congratulates Dr. Oller on his election and appreciates his continued service to both the chiropractic profession and the citizens of Kansas.

In 2026, the Kansas Chiropractic Association continued its strong presence at the Statehouse by actively monitoring more than 700 bills, attending over 130 legislative committee meetings, and meeting directly with legislators, regulators, and coalition partners to advocate for the chiropractic profession and the patients we serve. KCA worked to advance legislation improving access to chiropractic care, including school physical and concussion management proposals, while also protecting the profession from policies that could negatively impact patient safety, scope of practice, insurance fairness, and healthcare competition. Throughout the session, KCA remained engaged with the Kansas Legislature, the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts, the Kansas Insurance Department, and numerous healthcare stakeholders to ensure chiropractic physicians continue to have a respected and effective voice in Kansas healthcare policy.
