April 16, 2010 — Several months ago the Foundation for Vertebral Subluxation submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for any and all documents related to the Inspector General’s report: Inappropriate Payments for Chiropractic Services.
The information we requested included:
• The identities and qualifications of the chiropractors who participated as medical reviewers in this evaluation.
• A copy of the structured interview questions that were utilized in this investigation and that all responses received during the evaluation be provided.
• A detailed description of the methodology used to conduct the literature review.
• A complete list of the literature reviewed for the report.
• The identity and qualifications of the individuals who conducted the literature review.
• Any information about the medical review process utilized.
We are currently reviewing the nearly 900 pages sent to us and are also making it available to the profession.
