The Washington State Legislature formed the Industrial Insurance Chiropractic Advisory Committee (IICAC) in 2007 to “...advise the department on matters related to the provision of safe, effective, and cost-effective chiropractic treatments for injured workers.”
The IICAC’s charge is to:
- Develop evidence-based resources to assist provider delivery of high quality care for injured workers.
- Advise on quality of care issues.
- Provide peer review and assist in resolution of controversies.
- Develop and oversee the chiropractic consultant and IME training programs.
- Advise the department on policies related to conservative care of injured workers.
- Coordinate with state health technology programs.
