Medicare will only cover the code for an "adjustment", which is 98940. They do not cover anything else, so you should make sure your D.C. is aware of that before he/she begins your treatment. Otherwise you could wind up spending more money than you're prepared for. This is a good point you may want to bring up with your congressperson. Chiropractors perform careful examinations, radiographic procedures, and other diagnostic procedures that should be reimbursed just like other health-care providers. Chiropractors are trained in physiotherapy and should be reimbursed for implementing these therapies when appropriate. If you have been paying your taxes your whole life the government should not leave you with the bill for your needed care.
Medicare does not have a specific visit limit for chiropractic services.
Unfortunately no this service is not paid for by medicare.
Medicare Part B does not cover Chiropractic services. These types of services are considered non traditional medicine. Requests to be seen by a chiropractor are generally turned down by a primary chare physician.
Emergency room visits are considered outpatient care and, as such, are not covered by Medicare Part A. Medicare Part A is for inpatient care while you are staying in a hospital. Emergency room visits and other outpatient treatment is covered under Medicare Part B. See Sources and related links for additional information.

One can get competitive medicare coverage for dental, but it is not easy to do so. Dental care can be very expensive. If one visits the Medicare website one can find details there.
There is Medicare C and D which are pretty popular for people who are on low income. There is regualar medicare, however you may have to pay out of pocket since the doctor visits are much less.
