The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) implemented many changes in the health care system and clinics nationwide had to learn to abide by new rules and regulations. The key components included expanding Medicaid eligibility, establishing health insurance exchanges, requiring insurers to cover essential health benefits, and offering subsidies to help individuals afford coverage. Another critical component of that Act was directed to healthcare providers. Unfortunately, when polled nearly 80% of small provider clinics were completely unaware that PPACA made Office Compliance Programs mandatory for all physician practices as a condition of enrollment in Medicare, Medicaid, and/or CHIP. These compliance programs must address certain ‘core elements.’

Documentation and Coding of Exercise Services | CE Webinar
Wednesday, December 17th - Wednesday, December 17th 2025 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm RSVP Save to CalendarPresented by Presented By Colleen G. Auchenbach DC, CPCO, CPMA
It is widely accepted that most conditions that respond favorably to chiropractic care might get better results in less time when therapeutic modalities and procedures are utilized in the treatment plan. Improved outcomes are often realized when a provider incorporates stretching, strengthening, and reconditioning of the entire body region to help facilitate and support the spinal adjustments. While chiropractors are fantastic at getting patients well using these additional services, they are overwhelmingly unclear about which code to use for the service that is being performed and the requirements involved in performing, documenting, and coding these exercise activities. This training will explore the nuances between frequently used codes and how to utilize those details when documenting and coding these services.
