5 ways to boost reimbursement for your practice

Coding C&A |To improve reimbursement consider billing, having a clear financial policy, using appropriate codes and creating a plan for each patient.

Don’t fear the FROF: The importance of financial conversations

Practice Central |Before treatment can even begin, the Financial Report of Findings (FROF) must be presented and the means of payment agreed upon. The new patient whose primary focus up to this point has been “Wow, this really hurts, can you help me?” will now understandably shift gears to, “Wow, how am I going to pay for this?”

Expand your practice by advertising to the right audience

Marketing matters | Chiropractors traditionally focus their efforts on their local communities, and if you’re a tech-savvy chiropractor you may have even allocated some of your resources for education and awareness on social media platforms, such as Instagram or Facebook, to reach more potential patients.

Learn the difference in casting methods for foot orthotics

Research Results |The case for the use of custom orthotics in the chiropractic practice is compelling: Orthotics is research-proven to enhance the proprioceptive response of the foot and entire lower extremity, improving biomechanics.

Morals vs. Ethics: Doing the right thing as a DC

In Focus |As a chiropractor, you face ethical and moral decisions on a daily basis in clinical practice. While what you do for patients ought to be moral and ethical, there is much more that should go into your decision-making—you can’t just stop there.

The benefits of a cloud-based EHR system


What are you going to do when the auditor comes for you?

Feature | When it happens, it will likely be a day like any other. You’ll be seeing a patient out the door, and returning to your office when your CA waves you over with a panicked look and says, “We’re being audited.” Will you be ready?

What you don’t know about HIPAA data requirements could hurt you.

Legal Ease |Because most practitioners’ efforts to stay up-to-date with HIPAA requirements are lagging or nonexistent, or they have not put the required protections in place within their practices, they may have become liable for their vendor’s improper encryption under HIPAA.

With new regulations on the way, should you buy vs. lease equipment?

Money Management |Even as credit becomes more readily available, whether to buy or lease equipment is a question facing many DCs. While there is no correct answer that fits every situation or every practice, leasing is far more complicated and may be getting more complex, compared to the simplicity of buying.
