Title:
Defense Health Care: DOD Has Established a Chiropractic Benefit for Active Duty Personnel
Report Date:
2005-09-06
Abstract:
The Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (NDAA2001) directed the Department of Defense (DOD) to develop and implement a plan to make a chiropractic benefit available to all active duty personnel in the U.S. armedforces.1 The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure(primarily, the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. In August 2001,DOD submitted to Congress an implementation plan that described how it planned to develop a chiropractic benefit within the military health system. The plan addressed patient eligibility, access to care, the location of chiropractic clinics, projected costs, staffing, and the marketing and monitoring of the benefit.
