Chiropractic Billing
Chiropractic billing specialists who understand manual therapy, modalities, and active care.
Common Billing Challenges in Chiropractic
Chiropractic billing has some of the highest denial rates in outpatient care — mainly due to medical necessity requirements, maintenance care limitations, and strict documentation standards that many practices struggle to maintain.
Medical Necessity Documentation
Medicare and many commercial payers require specific functional improvement documentation to support continued chiropractic care.
Active vs. Maintenance Care
Medicare does not cover maintenance chiropractic care — accurately distinguishing active treatment from maintenance is essential for compliance.
Spinal Manipulation Code Selection
Spinal manipulation CPT codes depend on the number of regions treated — selecting the wrong code is a common and costly error.
Modality Billing
Therapeutic modalities billed alongside manipulation require the correct supervised vs. constant attendance codes.
