• Here are some of the common reasons that can
  cause havoc to your chiropractic practice and
  prevent you from getting paid on time
• Lack of documentation is one of the main reasons
  why claims get denied. Each claim needs to be
  supported with sufficient documentation because
  insurance companies have specific rules for
  coverage. For instance, each submitted claim
  should establish the necessity of patient care.
  If there is lack of relevant data or if there are
  inconsistencies, then it will hamper the chances
  of your claims getting paid.
• It is necessary to make sure that there are no
  coverage problems in the patients plan. For
  instance, there are chances the insurance
  coverage of a patient doesnt cover chiropractic c
  are. To avoid such instances, it is important to
  verify the insurance plan of patients before
  providing them care. Regular eligibility check is
  vital for existing patients too. Dont wait for
  the patients to notify you of any changes in
  their insurance plans. Your chiropractic practice
  should gather the required data.

• At times, insurance companies reject a claim if a
  practice is billing them for the wrong amount.
  This makes it necessary to review the medical
  billing process on a regular basis. In this
  scenario, you can also seek help of a
  clearinghouse for getting your claims checked and
  processed.
• Errors in coding is another common reason why
  claims get denied for many chiropractic
  practices. Errors in coding are very common
  specially if paper billing is being done. If the
  billing staff is relying on templates and not
  cross checking the claims before submission, then
  it can lead to insurance companies rejecting the
  claims in case of errors.
• Since a significant number of claims get denied
  by payers, it has become necessary for practices
  to streamline their billing processes and hire
  experienced staff.  Many chiropractors are
  choosing to outsource their billing requirements
  to a third party. They are hiring a billing
  company to get paid on time and improve their
  administrative processes.
