Are you new to coding? Do you need a quick refresher? In his ChiroCode Webinar, The ABCs of CPT for CMT & PT, Marty Kotlar, DC, CHCC, CBCS, gives a wonderful review of the basic and common Chiropractic services. Some highlights are:
1. Examinations: Chiropractors in all 50 states can do Evaluation and Management services physical therapists cannot. 2. X-rays: Chiropractic boards around the country recommend that written x-ray reports are included with all x-rays. 3. Chiropractic Manipulative Treatment: Pre-manipulation patient assessments and post-service work are included with these codes. Use modifier -25 for significant services that are above and beyond the usual services. 4. Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation: The most common services are supervised modalities, constant attendance modalities, and therapeutc procedures. Modalities are more about the type of equipment you use, and therapeutic procedures are more about the outcome you expect.
