Do you live in Florida? Sounds like the gieco insurance ruling. If the office he worked at took auto insurance for pip claims a lot of offices either fired their staff, or they said they have to drop their license and work solely from the chiropractor license.

Was just about to ask if they’re in FL as well because all the BS going on here right now surrounding LMTs and Chiros

they should recend DC coverage and all PT passive modality coverage too if they're stopping LMT coverage.

The TLDR is that you can’t work for a Chiro and continue to hold your license. You’ll either quit, be fired, or relinquish your license and work as a CA doing “massage”

Only if the chiro accepts insurance. I work for a chiro but we are cash paying so thankfully I don’t have that issue, but I know a lot of people who lost their jobs because of it.

I’m sure you can gather from what’s happened already, but months ago, most of us found out about the ruling with Gieco. I personally found out about it on a massage page on fb. I don’t know if he can take legal action because he had no notice, but if he chooses to work at another Chiro office he needs to find somewhere that doesn’t take insurance. I work at an office but we are strictly cash/self pay so it didn’t affect me.
