I am a chiropractor and can tell you that the answer is an unequivival no. A chiropractor cannot work as a licensed physical therapy assistant unless they are licensed as a physical therapist or physical therapy assistant. Chiropractors can practice physiotherapy(P.T) but cannot practice physcical therapy(P.T). In the same way, physical therapists can sometimes manipulate the spine but they can't practice chiropractic unless they are also a licensed chiropractor. Medicare requires that a P.T or P.T.A perform the physical therapy -not a chiropractor.
At this point medicare does not cover massage therapy (part A). Some of the supplemental plans (part B and C) do cover massage therapy. You would need to check with your provider to see if they cover "massage therapy provided by a licensed massage therapist." Insurance companies do not make decisions based on type of massage but perhaps who is performing it. Sometimes physical therapists' and chiropractors' massages may be covered and a massage therapist's may not be covered. But yes it depends on which part of medicare you are talking about. Supplemental medicare plans may cover massage therapy (and deep tissue massage therapy).
Nothing the bills were paid by Medicare.
Yes, most people on Medicare will need to pay a copay in order to go to physical therapy appointments. This is considered to be a specialist. If you have other health insurance outside of Medicare, this may cover the copay amount.
There is no therapy for planning management however there is medication therapy management. This is part of Medicare's Part D prescription drug plan that is required under the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003.
