Best Practices for Chiropractic Billing
Address your chiropractic billing problems like you address your patients’ spinal issues – with a proper approach. Stay vigilant and avoid coding mistakes, insurance confusion, non-compliance, and rushed paperwork. But it is easier said than done! We know that as a chiropractor, your main priority is to diagnose patients and develop treatment plans.
Many chiropractic practices find it challenging to balance clinical responsibilities with administrative duties. Moreover, changing regulations and coding requirements also make the chiropractic billing process more confusing. However, accurate billing is essential for generating revenue. Achieve excellent results with the following best practices.
Verify Insurance Coverage
Start the chiropractic billing process with certainty! Before offering any treatment to a patient, confirm whether the service is covered in their insurance plan. This step is necessary for understanding the coverage limitations of a patient. It will help you avoid claim denials and prevent significant financial losses.
Obtain Prior Approvals
Avoid unexpected costs! After insurance verification, get the green light from payers for specific services or treatments, if necessary, in advance. Obtaining prior authorization for these services will prove their medical necessity to the payer and reduce the risk of claim denials.
Use Correct Codes
Become a coding expert! Quick claim approvals and complete payments are only possible through accurate coding. Therefore, use the correct CPT codes for each chiropractic service and justify them with the right diagnostic codes (ICD-10) to meet the insurance payers’ coding guidelines.
Meet Payers’ Deadlines
Submit your claims on time! Many chiropractic practices overlook payer deadlines due to a high number of claims and other distractions. However, timely submissions are necessary to avoid claim denials. Different insurance companies have different deadlines. So, review their requirements and submit your claims within their specified timeframe.
