## Opinion text

CADY, Chief Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur in the result reached by the majority. I would not reach the issue of whether or not Iowa Code section 514F.2 (2013) regulates reimbursement of chiropractic services. Even assuming it did, the lower fees paid to chiropractors by Well-mark, Inc. would not violate the statute because substantial evidence supports the finding by the commissioner in this case that the lower fees were not based solely on licensure.
