Informed Consent and the Chiropractic Care Plan
A report of findings is not just an opportunity to sit down with the patient and bring them up to speed with the provider's recommendations, but also an important opportunity to mitigate some risk, and to establish medical necessity for third parties. The Informed Consent process, which is an essential part of patient communication, can be done the right way and the wrong way. Likewise, laying out the care plan for the patient lays the foundation for the care that follows, and is essential to do right, especially when third party payers may be scrutinizing the services for medical necessity. Join Dr. Evan Gwilliam, certified coder, auditor, and compliance officer in this riveting presentation and walk away with clear steps you can take to improve your practice.
