DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION
After being raised in a chiropractic family, Dr. Colleen G. Auchenbach decided to follow in her father’s footsteps and attend Cleveland Chiropractic College where she graduated Cum Laude in December 1998. She immediately joined a busy family practice and enjoyed practicing chiropractic for over 20 years.
Due to the increase in regulations in healthcare and the need to stay on top of all things related to chiropractic documentation and coding, she completed the 100-hour Insurance Consultant/Peer Review certification in 2015 through Logan University College of Chiropractic. Dr. Colleen continued her training by successfully completing the Medical Compliance Specialist Physician (MCS-P) course, becoming certified in 2016. In addition, she completed the American Association of Professional Coders (AAPC) course and became a Certified Professional Medical Auditor (CPMA) in 2022 as well as a Certified Professional Compliance Officer (CPCO) in 2024
In November 2020, she joined the KMC University team as a Documentation Specialist. Because of her time in patient care as an associate doctor in a large practice, she understands the need for accurate, up to date information regarding documentation, coding, billing, and compliance. One of Dr. Colleen’s goals is to contribute to the chiropractic profession by supporting doctors through the journey of lowering their risk by implementing compliant practices allowing them to concentrate on providing excellent chiropractic care to their patients.
Dr. Colleen lives in Florida with her wonderful family and is enjoying lifelong dreams of living by the ocean!

We still have some things to finish up throughout the remainder of the year, but Jill expertly trained us so that we can stand on our own from here and complete the process ourselves. To me, the ability to feel confident enough in this process to continue on my own is the most valuable thing, and Jill and KMC have provided us with that ability...
