Coding Process
Our team of AAPC-certified coders possesses extensive experience in Chiropractic coding and knowledge of CPT codes. Our chiropractic coding services ensure the highest level of accuracy for faster insurance reimbursements. Here is an overview of our coding process:
- Identifying the Service Provided: The first step in coding is to identify the service provided by the chiropractor. This could be a spinal adjustment, soft tissue therapy, or other services.
- Assigning the appropriate code: Once the service has been identified, we assign the appropriate code based on the CPT code set. This code indicates the specific service provided and is required for insurance reimbursement.
- Using Modifiers as required: Modifiers are used to provide additional information about a service, such as the number of areas of the spine adjusted or the length of time spent on a particular service. We add the appropriate modifiers to the CPT code to ensure accurate reimbursements.
- Thorough Documentation: Accurate documentation of the services provided is essential for proper coding. Our thorough documentation includes details about the service provided, the date of service, and any relevant patient information.
By following these steps and staying up-to-date on coding changes, we ensure that your services are properly coded and reimbursed. Partner with an experienced coding company that can help ensure accuracy and compliance with regulatory requirements.
