Streamline Medical Billing to Enhance your
Chiropractic cash Flows
Chiropractors have always suffered due to revenue management and medical billing
services challenges. Due to healthcare reforms, over hauling of chiropractic revenue
models has become the need of the hour. Previously considered as a non-primary care
practice, various significant additions of primary care responsibilities have been made to
the portfolio of chiropractors, requiring them to pay more attention to billing in order to
get paid.

upgrade will have to be done for the same

prepared. The new code set will change all the codes used for diagnosis.

the “cheat sheet” list, update billing program and software according to the new
code set
 39 to 50 states have mandatory chiropractic benefits which will increase number
of patients at a chiropractic office. On one hand this will benefit chiropractors
while on the other hand some insurance plans will scrutinize the number of visits
and services in a close manner, increasing pressure on providers
Billing and reimbursement for chiropractors can appear to be simple but in case of
unpreparedness, it can become extremely daunting. Even if your practice is familiar with
codes required for chiropractic billing, your billing department might not be aware of
the complexities that lead to denials. In such cases, many chiropractors prefer
outsourcing their billing requirements in order to sail through reimbursement
challenges.
