Chiropractors, Stop Leaving Money on the Table.



5 Easy Ways to Get Paid for More of What You Do


Would you like to be able to make more money from services you already provide?


Provide additional services to generate more office revenue?


You could be just one easy step or modifier away!


Below, you'll find our list of 5 of the easiest ways for a Chiropractic office to get paid for more of what they do.


 


EXAMS - AVOID BUNDLING


When an exam is given on the same day as an adjustment , distinguish the Exam as a "separate and distinct service" by appending MODIFIER -25 to your appropriate E&M billing code. Example: 99203-25



 


X-RAY REPORTS


For X-Rays taken outside your office: If an X-Ray report is deemed insufficient from a chiropractic standpoint, it is acceptable for you to RE-WRITE the report and bill for it by appending MODIFIERS -26 and -77 to the appropriate X-Ray code.

Example: 72100-26-77



 


MODIFIER -59


Modifier -59 has been replaced by four more specific modifiers:

XE - Separate Encounter

XS - Separate Structure

XP - Separate Practitioner

XU - Unusual Non-overlapping Service


Example: 97140-XS



 


REPORT OF FINDINGS


Since there is no official "Report of Findings" billing code, you may consider using the "Counseling Time

Override" to bill for report of findings visits.



 


OUTCOME ASSESSMENTS


Use Health & Behavior Assessment Codes 96150 (Initial) and 96151 (Re-Eval) to get paid for Outcome

Assessments when you follow three easy steps.
