ACOM announces coding service

Noting that up to 50 percent of all chiropractors victimize themselves and their practices by failure to code and document their work properly, the ACOM Chiropractic Consulting Group has announced a three-phase chiropractic coding and documentation analysis service designed to assure fair payment for services and to avoid problems with billing compliance.

The new service is conducted over the phone in three sessions that take place within an approximate two-week time period, according to Senior Consultant Bharon Hoag. It involves no disruption of practice activities and routine

“When doctors do not code their services properly they can be impacted in two ways,” Hoag said.  “If they don’t bill fully for everything they do, they collect less than they should, impairing the success of their practice. If they unintentionally overbill, they risk audits and payback demands that can run into thousands of dollars. In this analysis, we identify for the doctors if they fall into either group and recommend what to do about it.”
