Billing companies that work chiropractic claims every day. Describe your practice once and compare their proposals.
A few questions about the practice, then billing companies that fit send proposals. You are not committing to anything.
Hand off all of it or just the parts that are breaking. Say which in the form so the proposals match.
Charges entered, claims checked against payer edits, and sent daily so clean claims go out the first time.
Every denial worked, appealed, or corrected, with the root cause tracked so the same denial stops repeating.
Old balances called on and worked by payer and by age until they are paid, adjusted, or written off on purpose.
Certified coders assign CPT, ICD-10, and modifiers from your notes, or audit the codes your providers pick.
New providers enrolled with payers, CAQH kept current, and revalidations handled before they lapse.
Statements, online payment, payment plans, and the phone calls that come with them, handled in your name.
Eligibility checks, prior authorizations, and old AR cleanup go through the same request. If you only need one piece, say so.
There is no right answer for every practice. The usual tradeoffs:
Chiropractic billing looks easy until you read a denial report. The code set is small: a few spinal manipulation codes sorted by how many regions you treated, some therapy codes, and the office visit codes. That smallness is the trap. Payers see the same five lines on every claim from every chiropractor, so they audit the pattern. If every patient gets the three-to-four region code, someone at the plan notices, and the next records request lands on your desk.
The denials cluster in predictable places. Manual therapy billed next to manipulation in the same region gets bundled unless the note shows a different area and the right modifier is attached. An office visit on a treatment day needs modifier 25 and documentation of a separate problem, not the adjustment note with a fresh date on it. Timed therapy codes get denied when the minutes do not add up to the units. Medicare is narrow about what a chiropractor can bill and wants active treatment flagged, so a maintenance patient who slips through as covered becomes a refund request eighteen months later. Commercial plans add visit caps and chiropractic benefit managers who want authorization, and the authorization runs out on visit nine while the patient is on visit eleven. Injury cases and liens are a second book, each on its own clock.
In-house staff usually get the front end right and the back end wrong. Copays are collected, claims go out, and nobody works the aging report on accounts past sixty days. A good specialty biller tracks visit counts against authorizations, checks the diagnosis pointer on every manipulation line, and keeps lien accounts in their own ledger. Outsourcing makes sense when the doctor is also the biller after hours, or when personal injury cases are piling up faster than anyone follows them. A coding-only fix is the wrong answer if your real problem is AR nobody calls on. When you fill in the form, give the number of providers, your rough split between insurance, cash, and injury cases, your EHR, and the denial you are tired of seeing.
Three steps. Most practices hear from the first billing company within a business day.
Specialty, providers, claim volume, your software, and what you want handled.
Your request goes to billing companies that work your specialty and take on practices your size.
Compare fees, scope, reporting, and contract terms side by side. Pick one, or none.
What practice managers usually ask before they fill out the form.
Describe the practice once and compare proposals from billing companies that fit. No obligation.
