Sure, any medical biller could do your billing, and be pretty good at it. Your A/R is paying your bills, and your staff is decent.   Three reasons why you would benefit from hiring a Chiropractic billing expert are:
  • An expert becomes an advocate and educator for Chiropractic, benefiting your practice and most importantly, your patients. 
  • They micro-specialize helping to know all the ins and outs of the Chiropractic niche.  Knowing how to handle all claims, denials, and other billing issues that arise daily. They maximize your insurance dollars. 
  • A specialist does not cloud their attention trying to figure out how other specialties work. A multi-specialty billing clerk must juggle numerous codes, claims, and practice issues, thus not having the time in fully excelling in just one area.
