Minimal Documentation is Basic, Enhanced Documentation is Necessary
While states require minimum documentation requirements for chiropractors, many states require chiropractic-specific details. While it is not recommended that you only do the minimum to scrape by, there might be times when you only need to document to the level of meeting the state requirement. Enhanced documentation is recommended for the level of care you desire to provide to your patients. Better documentation means better patient care and better patient outcomes.
Documentation of Routine Chiropractic Office Visit
In your chiropractic practice, you must attain state specific minimum documentation requirements or greater by establishing standards for documentation defining your policy requirements and your standard operating procedure (SOP). These will include an explanation of the use of your patient’s subjective data, the provider’s objective findings, the assessment, and the treatment rendered.

I just wanted to touch base and let you know how much you have helped my daily routine. I just can't tell you how much time and effort I have put in trying to figure out and correct the modifiers on our claims. We have been putting those in by hand and as you can well imagine there were many errors and many times our claims were stopped or just not paid. It seems to me half my life was spent trying to figure out just why we weren't getting paid. I am in awe of how you just clicked buttons and made my life so much easier. I can't thank you enough. I have a pile of old corrections to fix and after that I am done with this issue for good. I am working hard on my homework and although it is extremely difficult and tedious I do see light at the end of the tunnel. Just want you to know I appreciate more than you will ever know. Thanks again.
