The CCA-OCCD is active in supporting legislation that provides chiropractic services for California citizens, and opposes legislation that makes it difficult to obtain proper health care.

• AB 440 (Corbett)

  • Stalled in the Senate Appropriations Committee.

  • This is CCA's effort to force managed care companies that use "withholds" to retain a portion of a doctor's reimbursement to return payments in a timely manner and to disclose certain financial information.
     

• SB 320

  • Vetoed by the Governor.

  • Doctors of chiropractic rallied to defeat this workers' compensation benefits increase that also would have eliminated the treating physician's presumption of correctness.
    
    

• SB 559 (Brulte)

  • Signed by the Governor.

  • CCA's successful effort against "Silent PPOs" was included as part of a major managed care reform package.

  • The bill prevents entities from marketing doctor's panels and their negotiated contract rates without meeting certain disclosure, notification, and patient "steerage" requirements.
    
    

• SB 1287 (Murray)

  • Signed by the Governor.

  • CCA secured an amendment to this bill - the Occupational Therapist Licensure Act - that specifically prohibits OTs from performing spinal manipulation.
