On January 30, a small–but mighty–group of chiropractors turned-out for the 2025 WSCA Legislative Day at the Capitol. We discussed with legislators the need for HB 1589, and HB 1655, to be heard in committee and passed by the legislature. HB 1589 is a contract fairness bill, and HB 1655 is the cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) to fee schedules bill.
HB 1589 has a hearing Tuesday, February 4, at 1:30pm. Please sign in to the Committee Sign in before noon tomorrow, and follow the three steps below:
- Select the field to “have your position noted for the record”
- From the “Position” drop down menu, select “PRO”
- Complete the required fields and submit your position on HB 1589
HB 1589 will require insurance carriers to contract with providers in good faith, provide a contact person for the negotiation, provide a document that shows the changes in a contract upon renewal, and address network adequacy standards.
We plan to have an amendment on the bill to strengthen several of its the components, and we will report those details to you when the amendment is prepared.
