7 AAC 43.920. Covered services

Under the conditions and limitations of 7 AAC 43.910, Medicaid payment will only be made for treatment consisting of manual manipulation to correct a subluxation of the spine and x-rays necessary for diagnosis. The subluxation of the spine must have resulted in a neuromusculoskeletal condition for which manual manipulation is the appropriate treatment. X-rays necessary for diagnosis must be limited to the specific area of the spine requiring treatment. If there is no x-ray to support that a subluxation exists, the recipient's record must contain complete documentation of the examination results justifying manual manipulation for subluxation of the spine.
