Billing and Coding Guidelines for Chiropractic Services

Reimbursements or billing and coding in chiropractic practices play a critical role in running of healthcare practices. Billing improves the chance of chiropractors receiving timely cash in their accounts, while coding reduces the chances of claim rejection. It is very important to adhere to set system principles and practice in chiropractic to ensure order and profitability in practice. Minds On, leading BPO services company, helps healthcare companies deal with confusing issues of billing and coding. Posted below is one article that discusses the detailed actions that go into the field of chiropractic billing and coding, as well as how we assist chiropractors in this area.

The Importance of Accurate Chiropractic CPT Codes

Chiropractic billing errors can lead to denials or delayed claims, which dramatically affect cash flow for a practice. Examples of claim challenge problems include, incorrect 98943 CPT codes, incomplete documentation, or lack of payer-specific guideline compliance. These disruptions can be avoided if chiropractors’ billing is accurate. Unchecked billing errors can cost you a lot of money.

A prime example of this is that a claim with the incorrect 98940 CPT code could delay payment, or in the worst case, prevent payment altogether. This results in chiropractors spending time correcting errors and resubmitting claims, and it’s costly and time consuming. Minds On knows how important it is to be accurate in billing. We provide a full support of not only the chiropractors’ work but the completeness of the documentation in order to have chiropractors submit claims that fulfill all the rules and to make sure that claims are guaranteed to be submitted in time and in full.

Understanding Chiropractic CPT Codes

Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes are one of the basic things you’ll need to learn in order to comply with chiropractic billing. A system of standardized codes is used to describe the medical service or treatment. Chiropractic CPT codes in health care are designed to indicate the kind of treatment provided, and how much, in a manner that insurance companies can easily understand and process the claim.

For example, 98940 CPT code indicates treatment of one or two spinal regions; 98941 means treatment of three or four spinal regions. Five or more spinal regions addressed with treatments are covered with the 98942 CPT code and the 98943 CPT code covers extraspinal manipulative treatments such as arms or legs. The use of these codes properly applied will render services reported accurately to the payer, likely decreasing the occurrence of a dispute or the denial of a claim.

We help chiropractors understand and apply the correct codes at Minds On. It also prevents errors that can ultimately cause claim rejections. We help practices improve their cash flow by keeping the reimbursement process running smoothly, by doing everything possible to be sure that the right 98940 CPT codes are being used.

The Role of Documentation in Billing

Chiropractic billing is dependent on accurate and complete documentation. Often times, insurance payers demand the ravenous details to justify the services offered. That’s why chiropractic practices without detailed documentation risk claim rejections or slow reimbursement.

This allows the chiropractor to actually deliver more client care by not getting bogged down in administrative work.
