Managing Risk Thru Compliant Documentation And Coding

Course overview

Identify the key audiences for chiropractic documentation and explain how complete, timely records reduce risk of recoupments, board actions, and malpractice liability. Describe how documentation drives diagnosis coding, supports medical necessity, and meets Medicare's timely signature requirements to withstand payer analytics and audits. Differentiate active treatment from maintenance therapy using functional loss, episodes of care, onset dates, and appropriate AT and GA modifier application. Apply compliant fee structures using imposed and elective discounts and implement an OIG compliance program to avoid anti-kickback and false claims violations.
