Who We Are
The American Academy of Chiropractic
Physicians (AACP) is a professional organization
representing Chiropractic Physicians. Its mission is to
preserve, protect, improve and promote the chiropractic
medical profession and the services of Chiropractic
Physicians for the benefit of the patients they serve.
The AACP will continue to
combat third-party interference with the
physician-patient relationship, including advancing
antitrust reform, eliminating unnecessary red tape and
unfair payment practices; and fighting for reimbursement
decisions that are based on optimal patient care, not
economics.
The AACP supports the
improvement of the public health through lifestyle and
behavior modification, better access to needed services,
moderation of healthcare cost increases, and better
quality of care and patient satisfaction.
The AACP is aggressively
involved in advocacy efforts related to the most vital
issues in chiropractic medicine today,
including unimpeded, direct patient access, Medicare
chiropractic physician payment reform, expanding
coverage for the uninsured and increasing access to
care, improving the public health, managed care reform,
best practices and the delivery of primary care for
those chiropractic physicians who have the training and
clinical competencies.
