Combating fraud and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid

Chiropractic Economics July 20, 2012

July 20, 2012 — In response to a request from the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance, the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) recently submitted comments on combating and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse within the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

In the comments, ACA describes various actions taken by the association to improve standards for the chiropractic profession. Additionally, ACA comments about Medicare, inadvertent billing and documentation errors and incorrect coding and billing for items that Medicare Administrative Contractors (MAC) determine are (after the fact) “not medically” necessary.
