House amendment #1 makes the following changes to the 3rd edition.

Amends proposed GS 90-153.1(b), defining chiropractic peer review. Qualifies that the term means the retrospective review of the treatment records of a chiropractic patient when requested by a third-party payer (previously, did not require request by a third-party payer), performed and for the purpose as previously set out. Modifies and adds to what is not included in the term, to exclude: (1) automated screening programs, (2) reviews limited to coding and billing entries, or (3) reviews performed by a third-party payer's in-house employees or individuals hired for the purpose of providing expert testimony in or preparing for litigation of personal injury claims (previously, did not include reviews performed by a third-party payer's in-house employees for this purpose).
