Fall MAC, what a deal!

Whew!  We can't believe it's over.  We had a blast at the fall MAC last weekend, thanks to all of you!  The theme for the fall Michigan Association of Chiropractors meeting was that "Chiropractic is a good bet", and you showed us how true that was.  It seemed like the busiest, fullest, and most exciting MAC event yet and we loved meeting and seeing all of you.


Thanks again to Susan McClelland for the fine presentation and wealth of knowledge that she brought to the event.  It was our privilege to sponsor her.

Michigan MAC "Brew"-ha at Holland, Michigan

Last Thursday we were invited to join with Dr. Arkfeld at the District 7 meeting in Holland, MI, at the New Holland Brewing Co.  Dr. Arkfeld said that there were about 30 members present and that the un-conventional atmosphere at the brewery was very relaxed, with everyone asking excellent questions.

Dr. Arkfeld's topic was "Hidden Revenue Sources in the Chiropractic Office".  One of the areas he talked about was how offices doing 3-4 area adjustments, that should have properly been coded as 5 areas but were not (for whatever reason), was costing offices’ money.  The example he gave was that if you downcoded as few as 10 claims per day you would be losing approximately $31,000 a year.  And that is just one possible downcoding or improper coding mistake.

We really enjoyed visiting with the District 7 members and wish to thank them and the MAC for inviting us out.  We had a great time and look forward to our next District invite.

Spring MAC with You!

This past weekend was the Michigan Chiropractic Association's Spring Convention in Traverse City, Michigan.  And what a wonderful place to be in the spring.  We had a great time hanging out with all of you in our home state (Genius Solutions is based in Warren, MI).  The convention was excellent, the turnout was amazing, and it was a pleasure to meet with so many of you. 

You may be wondering about the psychedelic booth.  The theme for the weekend was the 70's and we were all about the love.  In return, you helped to make us the best decorated booth winner.  Thanks MAC and MAC members!  We're looking forward to being with you again in the Fall. 

If you have any additional questions for us about any products you saw or would like to know more about, please feel free to e-mail us and we'll get right back with you.

Genius Sponsors MAC district Meeting in March

In the good ol' days of practice you would submit your claims to Medicare receive payment end of story, but now that doesn't even begin the the story, let alone end it.  Just because you got paid does not mean that you coded your claim properly, nor does it prove that the care was "medically necessary".  Incorrect coding and lack of documented medical necessity are the basis for ever increasing negative post-payment audits.  The audits are regularly followed by the inevitable demand for repayment.  It has been said that it is not a matter of IF you will be audited, but a matter of WHEN you will be audited.  Don't hide in fear of an audit, do it right, do it right now, and tell them to "bring it on" with confidence.
