Description

Many insurance carriers have recently introduced HEDIS® measures policies on when an x-ray should be taken if a patient presents with low back pain.  Every provider should be aware of the insurance carrier’s policy on radiographs with spine pain.  Knowledge of the measure will influence your medical decision-making and your required documentation when applicable.  

Dr. Mario Fucinari will define what circumstances will trigger the medical necessity for x-rays, the needed documentation, and appropriate ICD-10 codes.  Learn from a certified compliance officer and seasoned practitioner of 35 years how to incorporate these latest developments into your practice.  Perfect for doctors, staff, and students.

  • Realize the consequences of denials and recoupments in the chiropractic office

  • Apply knowledge to design a treatment plan that shows the rationale for care
  • Be able to describe elements of the patient’s history to avoid denials
  • Learn the common errors in documentation and coding that lead to denials 

This webinar is sponsored by the Illinois Chiropractic Society.
