Mechanism of Injury: It’s Not Just for Personal Injury Cases Anymore
|
|
ChiroCode Webinar: Thursday, February 9, 2012
|
|
Time: 4 pm Eastern, 3 pm Central, 2 pm Mountain, 1 pm Pacific
|
|
Presented by Ted A. Arkfeld, D.C., M.S., C.P.C.
|
 Determining the mechanism of injury for patients presenting from both traumatic and non-traumatic etiologies is not only a Medicare documentation requirement for an initial visit, it is crucial to the establishment of the medical necessity of your treatment plans. Knowledge of the sequence of events and loads placed on anatomical structures will lead to the proper examination performance and diagnostic impressions. With ICD-10-CM fast approaching in October of 2013, doctors of Chiropractic will be required to document clearly the history and examination findings that correlate with the new diagnostic code sets (language) that we now know as ICD-10-CM.

 Medicare is required by law to pay for care that is medically necessary. Medicare considers functional improvement to be the primary indicator of medical necessity for chiropractic care. It is up to you, the doctor, to prove functional improvement and medical necessity with your documentation. Dr. Short will show you how to use common practice tools to document functional improvement, medical necessity and maximum medical improvement.

HIPAA Updates for 2012
|
In a recent ChiroCode Webinar, Mario P. Fucinari D.C., CCSP, DAAPM, MCS-P discussed HIPAA updates for 2012. He was asked by an attendee, "What are your guidelines when using a collection agency?" He replied that you do not have to have permission from the patient to release information to a collection agency because in Box 12 of the 1500 claim form it states, "I authorize the release of any medical or other information necessary to process this claim." This also applies to releasing information to a collection agency with the intent to get the claim paid.
