John Davila, DC, FICC
Dr. John Davila brings clarity to one of the most misunderstood areas in chiropractic documentation and compliance in this timely and practice-focused webinar. As scrutiny surrounding documentation, medical necessity, and Medicare billing continues to increase, chiropractors must clearly understand the critical distinction between a “care plan” and a “treatment plan” and how improper documentation can place reimbursement and compliance at risk.
Drawing directly from the Office of Inspector General (OIG) findings and Medicare regulations, this course breaks down the misconceptions that have existed within the profession for years. Participants will gain practical insight into what Medicare reviewers are truly looking for, how to properly define a “case,” and how to create treatment plans that clearly demonstrate functional improvement and medical necessity.
This engaging three-hour webinar will help attendees strengthen documentation practices, reduce audit vulnerability, and improve confidence when navigating Medicare requirements. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or newer to practice, this course offers essential guidance to help protect your practice while elevating patient care documentation standards.
By the end of the program, attendees will better understand:
- Key Medicare regulations impacting chiropractic documentation
- The OIG’s interpretation of care plans and treatment plans
- Common documentation pitfalls leading to denials
- How to structure compliant, defensible treatment plans
- Best practices for demonstrating functional improvement and medical necessity
If documentation uncertainty has ever caused frustration or concern in your practice, this webinar will provide the clarity and practical tools you need to move forward with confidence.
