Opt Out of Medicare

Providers Not Eligible to Opt Out and Enter Into Private Contracts

Providers Who May Not Opt Out of the Medicare Program

Chiropractors

  • Opt-out law does not define ‘physician’ to include chiropractors; therefore, they may not opt out of Medicare and provide services under private contract.

Physical and Occupational Therapists

  • PTs and OTs cannot opt out because they are not within the opt-out law definition of either a physician or practitioner.
