Dr. Ben Lerner, founder of Teach the world about chiropractic and author of “Wellness in a minute” discovered an exceptionally convenient way to educate thousands of chiropractors on coding compliance and audit risk reduction. “Maintaining compliance requires special skills and military discipline,” says Dr. Lerner. “Webinars are ideal for audit risk management training because they provide urgently needed education, but require minimal investment in terms of time and cost.”
According to the Medicare FFS Inadequate Payment Report (2003), “chiropractors have the highest provider compliance error rate in Medicare, incorrectly submitting claims 30.6% of the time.”
The increased frequency of post-payment insurance audits and the increasing severity of penalties, ranging from license suspension to heavy monetary fines, emphasize the need for effective and affordable education on insurance compliance management. offices and audit risks.
“No insurance company offers protection against potentially huge penalties in the event of a post-payment audit,” says Jeff Randolph, Esq., legal counsel for the New Jersey Chiropractic Association and webinar author. “The severity of vendor sanctions after post-payment audit has escalated in the last two to three years from relatively non-adversarial audits and occasional chargebacks to very large fines, license suspension or loss, and jail time.”

If any chiropractic practice has a 30.6% chance of being audited and no insurance offers protection against audit risk, then the only rational way to protect the practice is to develop an internal audit defense strategy.
Physicians and practice managers are looking for profitable and productive ways to learn better ways to manage their practice and revenue cycle. The key benefit of the webinar is its convenience: no travel is required, and important information is delivered in ninety-minute sessions that make it easy for even the busiest clinicians to quickly get important information on topics ranging from successful implementation of EMR systems to comprehension. the real benefits and challenges of outsourced billing services, post-payment audit risk management, and much more.
