Common pitfalls
Where chiropractic claims go wrong
These are the errors we look for first when reviewing a practice in this specialty. If any sound familiar, a billing review will tell you what they are costing.
- Maintenance care billed as active treatment, which is the central chiropractic audit risk.
- Examinations billed with manipulation but without modifier 25.
- Treatment plans that do not show measurable functional improvement over time.
