Risky Business: Navigating Financial Challenges Amid Minnesota’s Medicaid Changes

The1-Hour LIVE Webinar is FREE to MCA members. 

Presenter: Kristi Hudson, CPCO

Minnesota chiropractors are facing a new financial challenge: starting January 1, 2026, chiropractic benefits will be eliminated from Minnesota Medicaid for recipients aged 21 and older. This change leaves thousands of patients without coverage and puts providers in a difficult position — how to ensure patients can continue care while remaining compliant with state and federal regulations.

We’ll review how to implement compliant discount programs that allow clinics to legally reduce fees for affected patients, maintain access to care, and avoid costly regulatory pitfalls. Attendees will learn how to safeguard their practice’s financial health while continuing to serve their communities during this transition.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the impact of Medicaid benefit elimination on Minnesota chiropractic practices.
• Identify and avoid common financial risks — including improper discounting and flawed financial policies.
• Explore strategies to remain profitable and compliant amid evolving regulations and reimbursement landscapes.
