- 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.
