New Medicare Summer Audits

Per Dr. Ted A. Arkfeld :

"This summer is starting out with aggressive audits on chiropractic services-- specifically 98942 and 98941 manipulation codes by Wisconsin Physician Services, (WPS).  
 
They are skipping the usual request for records, overpayment demand letters and moving straight to placing chiropractic offices into prepayment reviews.  This means a doctor must submit patient’s documentation for each visit to be reviewed by a nurse case manager at WPS.  The nurse case manager then determines if the services should be paid or denied.  If denied you then have the option of undergoing the appeals process.  

Unsuspecting doctors finding themselves in this situation will have an alteration in the revenue cycle with all of their Part B Medicare claims.  This is not the worse case scenario.  These same offices can expect to be placed in a post-payment audit status as well."

Dr. Arkfeld is the only chiropractic compliance consultant in the state of Michigan, and he has assisted numerous doctors through the audit process.

If your office receives this type of notification and you need additional help, you can contact Dr. Ted A. Arkfeld at Advanced Compliance Technologies.

The National Academy of Chiropractic Coders News Announcement

Ted Arkfeld, DC MS CPC presents 

Coding Chiropractic Manipulative Treatment Webinar

Join us for a Webinar on May 8

No Charge for NACC Members / $29.99 for Non-Members

Chiropractic offices are losing revenue every day because they lack the understanding of what constitutes a five area adjustment. Or worse yet, they intentionally shy away from coding and billing a 98942 (5-area adjustment) because they are fearful of acquiring a negative profile leading to a post-payment audit. This webinar will describe what five anatomical areas are included in a 98942 CMT code, and why you should code and bill for a full spine adjustment if your patient presents with full spine complaints. We will cover the correct diagnostic coding to support a 98942 full spine CMT.

If you want to make an immediate impact on your practice, join us for this informative webinar on chiropractic manipulative treatment.
