Hi Kathy and welcome.
First Medicare requires X-rays every two years. But they will not pay for them if they were taken in the Chiropractors office. Suggest to your Doctor that they be taken at a Hospital or Radiology center then Medicare will pay for them.
Also Medicare requires that you enter the date of the most current X-ray on the HCFA in box 19.
Good Luck with your Chiropractor.
Liz :-)
