2010 ChiroCode DeskBook - Nothing Short of Fantastic!
The 2010 ChiroCode DeskBook is
packed with what you need to empower you to get paid and keep it. This new 18th
annual edition is more than just current codes. Here are just some of the
highlights:
- The
entire book has been updated with critical information, forms,
explanatory references and internet links to information that helps you get paid
and keep it.
- Compliance and Risk Management
Section Several new pages
have been added to the Compliance and Risk Management section to help you
weather the "perfect storm" that the entire chiropractic industry is now facing,
with post-payment audits and refund demands. Refer to these tips often. Also new
and updated are the Red Flags Rules and OIG Compliance Program Guidance.
- Documentation Section New pages for Initial Visits, Subsequent
Visits and Treatment Plans have been added. Applying the information on these
pages to your practice is an important part of protecting your practice against
audits and refund demands. Also included are updated standards for performance
pay (bonuses), updated codes for record keeping, and the Problem Oriented
Medical Record (POMR). Learn the rules so that you can play their game and
win.
- Denials and Appeals Section
This section has critical
and essential knowledge for the management of claim denials and adverse
determinations.
Our initial reviews have been that the
new 2010 ChiroCode DeskBook is nothing short of fantastic. We are taking
orders now for either the 2010 ChiroCode DeskBook with Premium Support or
2010 ChiroCode DeskBook with Basic Support. The DeskBook is being
printed this week and will reach our warehouse the week of Jan 4th; we will then
be shipping orders on a first-come, first-serve basis. Get your order in today
so you can get your DeskBook in early January!

2. $44,000 in Stimulus Money? How Do I
Get It and How Quickly?
Presented by Keith Pendleton, JD Co-Hosted by
Medicfusion EMR and The ChiroCode Institute
ChiroCode Spotlight: Tuesday, Dec 15,
2009
Time: 4 pm Eastern, 3 pm Central, 2 pm
Mountain, 1 pm Pacific
Medicfusion EMR, together
with The ChiroCode Institute, Tipology, American Medical Billing Association,
Find-A-Code.com, and National Injury Diagnostics are proud to announce this
latest addition to Grow Your Practice and Get Paid - a continuing seminar
series.
If you work for a health care practice (any specialty) or
represent a consultant, third-party billing company, or EMR developer, we
strongly encourage you to attend.
In this special 1-hour webinar,
co-hosted by Medicfusion EMR and ChiroCode, we look at whether - and how -
individual health care providers can potentially qualify for the $19 Billion in
stimulus money which the Federal Government has allocated for the health care
industry. As part of the stimulus, health care providers who adopt EMR systems
that meet certain qualifications are slated to receive up to $44,000.
Participants who attend will learn how they can more effectively assess
the likelihood of whether their particular EMR system - or one which they're
considering - may qualify them for up to $44,000 in stimulus money. We also
introduce basic strategies for how health care providers can increase
reimbursements in conjunction with EMR usage.
The sponsors Grow Your
Practice and Get Paid cordially invite all health care providers, suppliers,
organizations, billing companies, and consultants to join us in sponsoring and
promoting this exciting series.
