Genesis Chiropractic Software Webinar Teaches Three Key Practice Compliance Skills
Industry leaders unveil tested strategies in chiropractic practice management software to increase office compliance and save practice owners time and money in this short new webinar. Genesis Chiropractic’s new short webinar reveals three most effective methods to increase compliance in the office, thus saving chiropractors time and money. The webinar is available online, and can be watched or listened to on a computer here at any time. “Ninety healthcare providers were charged with compliance violations reaching $260 million in billing in May 2014. A growing number of practices are subjected to audits and penalties,” says Reuven Lirov, Chief Practice Growth Officer at Vericle. “Chiropractic practice owners too struggle to maintain compliant practices against a tangled web of regulations from insurance companies, the government, Medicare, and Medicaid.” Each of those unbilled visits would be marked as a “fail” in the audit, with a resulting penalty of $10,000 per line item. According to Lirov, mistakes and oversights in the office are a regular occurrence in most healthcare practices. “Chiropractic office practice managers face difficult problems posed by compliance issues such as the increased risk of audit failure, growing compliance complexity, and lack of time to learn and implement new procedures based upon new rules,” says Lirov. Lack of compliance is a serious issue that can lead to substantial loss of revenue and fines. For example, a chiropractic office might see 100 patients a day, or approximately 25,000 patients a year. Suppose just 0.4% of those visits (100 visits) are undocumented. Each of those unbilled visits would be marked as a “fail” in the audit, with a resulting penalty of $10,000 per line item — or $1 million in audit penalties. “Better compliance liberates chiropractic practice owners from worrying about fines and audits, and lets them get back to treating patients,” says Lirov. “Chiropractic practice management software helps practice owners stay compliant and grow. Our average clients have seen substantial growth in their practices including an average revenue growth of 186% and patient growth of 141%.” [vc_video title=”Dr. Greg Loman D.C. talks about compliance.” link=”https://youtu.be/i0slFN2U1GA”] “We’re in a compliance era in which we must really become compliant,” says Dr. Greg Loman D.C., an accomplished physician, a high volume practice owner, and a co-founder of Maximized Living. “In my opinion it is just necessary that you use Genesis Chiropractic Software by Billing Precision not just a for compliance but for just how amazing their product is.” Continuously increasing compliance requirements and lack of time do not excuse chiropractic practice owner during a practice audit.

3 Must-Haves for Credit Card Processing | Q&A from the Webinar
If your practice currently accepts credit cards, or if you are considering incorporating them into your payment options, you likely have questions regarding the policies surrounding their use. To help you get the answers you need, we have compiled all the questions that were asked during our recent webinar, “3 Must-Haves for Client Credit Card Processing,” along with the presenter’s responses. Feel free to add any new questions in the comment section below. Q: What is PCI? A: PCI compliance stands for Payment Card Industry compliance. This is the regulation that the federal government puts on the credit card industry as well as merchants who accept credit cards. Similar to HIPAA in terms of documentation and patient record-keeping, PCI is the regulatory board that oversees all aspects of credit card payments. Q: What sort of fines do practices face for non-compliance? A: Most people don’t realize that they can be fined up to $2,500 per card that they’re not handling properly. So if you see 400 patients over the life of your practice, and you handle those cards improperly, you would face $1 million in fines. A big company like Target can handle that, but for most medical practices, that would put them out of business. Q: What percentage of medical offices are PCI compliant? A: An estimated 95 percent of practices are not PCI compliant, in one way or another. Q: How do I know if my office is PCI compliant? A: The first year you set up with a merchant services company, you have to take a PCI compliance survey. Then there’s a yearly survey after that. If you haven’t taken some sort of survey, or don’t remember taking one, chances are, you’re not compliant… and there’s a 100 percent chance that you’re being charged a monthly fee. That fee can range from $20 to $100 a month.
ICD-10: The Long and Winding Road
