Expert Chiropractic Billing Services for Higher Reimbursements and Optimized Revenue Cycle Management
The scrutiny of the insurance payers when it comes to chiropractic billing may amaze you. Payers will always be very rigid about separating active treatment and maintenance, and the moment the claims are not clearly documented to show which side of the fence they stand, the claim is quickly denied. This can be added to the restrictions in the frequency of services, diagnosis codes that directly tie into spinal regions, and the requirements for the documentation by different payers, and you have a specialty with high denial rates.
Cueclaim does your chiropractic billing, whether you practice solo, multi-physician, or wellness practices throughout the U.S.

Point Where Chiropractic Billing Gets Complicated
Chiropractic care is viewed differently according to payers when it comes to reimbursement in terms of whether the care was provided for an illness or maintenance care, and only the former is usually covered by insurance companies. The absence of proper documentation in support of the adjustment as a result of an illness and a particular objective will most likely lead to the conclusion that the care was maintenance in nature.
The billing department of Cueclaim carefully checks the documentation of any chiropractic service before filing the claim to ensure it is not maintenance in nature.

Why Chiropractic Practices Work With Cueclaim
Chiropractic guidelines with respect to medical necessity requirements and maintenance care coding change frequently based on the payer, such that keeping up-to-date is a more time-intensive process than the average practice can handle internally. Our chiropractic specialists work with physical therapy, orthopedic, and other specialty practices in addition to our chiropractors.
Chiropractic Coding Specialists
Our coding specialists know how to code chiropractic care according to documentation and diagnosis-coding requirements unique to chiropractic, rather than general musculoskeletal billing.
Integrated System
Our coding processes seamlessly integrate with the EHR and practice management systems that chiropractic clinics tend to use, linking up documentation and coding.
Revenue Cycle Management Optimization
We analyze how your chiropractic billing fits into your larger revenue cycle process, from coding to claims to collections, rather than simply managing each claim individually.
