A Message from Dr. John Schmidt
Dear Doctor and Staff:
Please accept this invitation to join me for the most comprehensive seminar available today on coding, compliance and documentation in the chiropractic practice.
As a chiropractor and former licensed insurance adjuster, I know what challenges you face in practice and how to help solve them.
Long gone are the days of endless insurance reimbursement.
Since 1986, there have been significant changes in Federal laws and the AMA-CPT coding rules that have reshaped the way health care providers, including chiropractors, do business.
Today, insurance companies and the Dpeartment of Health and Human Services are thoroughly investigating both erroneous and fraudulent conduct. Unfortunately, many chiropractors are making mistakes that appear to be fraud.
Under the revamped False Claims Act (31 USC 3729-3733), the Federal Government does NOT have to prove that a provider had any specific intent to defraud a health care program to be found liable for fraud. The law actually rewards people ('relators') for reporting providers who are suspected of committing fraud.
With the advent of HIPAA came another law, Health Care Fraud (18 USC 1347) which provides for a 10 year term of imprisonment for EACH count of fraud.
Combing HIPAA with the False Claims Act is a recipe for disaster!
Attend this seminar and you will gain a tremendous feeling of control over your insurance coding, awareness of State and Federal laws and treatment protocols... guaranteed!
