RAC made easy, by CMS

RAC is recovery audit contractors...

I found this great video that had been posted by an CMS with everything you might want to know about RACs in a 27 minute presentation; straight from the CMS horse's mouth.

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.

Fall Gratefully and with much Thanks-Giving

By Penny Henriksen, Genius Solutions' News writer and editor

If you haven't noticed yet, the holiday madness is nearly upon us. Not long after you read through this newsletter there will be some over-eager disc jockey that decides to start rotating Christmas/winter holiday music even sooner than last year. The reason I mention the madness is that before it really hits, we get one, really awesome, nearly relaxing holiday to kick off the true season: Thanksgiving.

Coding, Get a Clue!

By Penny Henriksen, Genius News Writer/Editor

Have you ever played the board game "Clue" by Parker Brothers? You have to figure out who did what to whom, where, and with what. Oh, and be right of course! Well, proper coding is like a game of Clue. Coders and billers need to find out what the physicians did with whom, where, with what, and how they reasoned out their solution that way. Moreover, if someone else comes knocking at your door wanting to know the reasoning, you need to have everything properly documented and accessible, so that anyone might be able to solve the same game from all of the clues, in the same way. It can be the difference between game success and game over.

In all of the history of mankind, doers do and recorders record. If a woman (or man) conquered the world, but no one was there to write it down for anyone else to know about it, did they actually do anything? By definition, "history" begins with written records. The doer and the recorder are each others’ right-hand. How legitimate is one without the other? This principle applies to your office as well.

Come Visit Us at the MAC Next Weekend

October 1-3, 2010, Booths 18 & 19

Just like the MAC, we think chiropractic is "a sure bet", and we're looking forward to spending the weekend with you.  Not only will you get to see our bright shiny faces, but you will have an opportunity to find out more about the new NACC (National Academy of Chiropractic Coders).  Best yet, to kick things off, we are sponsoring Susan McClelland, on Saturday and Sunday, she’ll be speaking with you about “Medicare Made Simple” and 8 CEs will be available to you for participating.

Susan McClelland is an oft requested consultant and seminar instructor on the topics of Medicare, coding, and documentation across the country.  Susan is a certified chiropractic assistant and licensed radiologic technologist, who has served as a clinic manager for many years (she is currently managing a chiropractic clinic in Christiansburg, VA). She has been an advisory resource for multiple ACA committees including: Coding and Reimbursement, Medicare, and Clinical Documentation, and has been a long-standing contributing author to the ACA publications.  It is our honor to sponsor her.  We hope that you will enjoy and learn some great tips from this outstanding woman.  We only offer the best, because at Genius Solutions, we care.

Q. Battery Backups, what are they and why should I care?

Q. Battery Backups, what are they and why should I care?

A. A battery backup is just as the box says- it is an extra, limited time, power supply backup that can save your computer, your data, and your business!

Normally your equipment will plug into the battery backup and then the battery backup will plug into the wall. Most of the time you can get battery backups that will also feature built-in surge protectors or power regulators. This is a double save-your-business bonus! A battery backup allows you time to save your work or backup and gracefully (properly) shut down and unplug your computer equipment, in case of a power outage (blackout or brownout), or power spikes (lightning hits the transformer next to your building, etc.).

Netiquette- Online Etiquette

By Penny Henriksen, Genius Solutions' News writer and editor

Do you have Netiquette? No, I’m not talking about those hairnets your grandmother uses to keep her curls in order. I’m talking about proper etiquette on the “net” (over the Internet)—Netiquette.

With the advent of cell phones and text messaging the written word has taken a real nosedive, this is your chance to bone up on a form of art that many consider to be the true sign of civilization- written words. Our mass migration to the World Wide Web (WWW) seems quite inevitable and is not a bad thing, but it is a very good time to review manners and courtesies in communicating with each other online. This is especially true as we begin to seriously reach out and communicate with each other via e-mail. To this end we list a few of the e-manners that will make you an e-superstar!
