Important! If you missed the Outcomes Assessment webinar, please watch the video.

Many of our customers and contacts have asked us to provide a video of Dr Kim Christensen's webinar on Outcomes Assessment. We are happy to provide you with a link to the video and sincerely thank our friends at The ChiroCode Institute for their cooperation in making the video available.

If you missed the webinar, please be sure to watch the video. It's jam-packed with important legal information about the proper use of copyrighted forms, as well as very good tips for efficient and effective use of Outcomes Assessments in practice.

Medicfusion's Outcomes Assessment Library allows you to legally and efficiently:

  • Document the need for care.
  • Establish outcome goals for care.
  • Provide solid evidence of precipitating factors that may require longer treatment plans.
  • Avoid post-payment recoupment.

Remember! Illegal use of copyrighted forms could render an entire patient's case invalid and cost you your practice.

Warning! DO NOT VIOLATE COPYRIGHT LAWS!
by Kim D Christensen, DC, DACRB, CCSP, CSCS, CES, PES

Services that are reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of illness or injury known as "medically necessary."

Medical necessity is based upon your ability to objectively document "functional improvement." I hear from chiropractors almost daily on their concerns about post-payment audits and recoupment. Post-payment audits involve an insurance company examining patient records for objective documentation that supports the care delivered. Without the proper documentation, the insurance company can demand re-payment.

You can avoid post-payment recoupment with the proper use of Outcomes Assessments in your documentation AND you can bill for this service utilizing 97211-25 typically at the second visit and every two-to-four weeks thereafter.

Warning: do not violate copyright laws! Copyright violations are serious crimes, with penalties up to $250,000 per incident.

DO NOT USE:

  • Outcomes Assessment Forms off the internet
  • Outcomes Assessment Forms from seminars
  • Outcomes Assessment Forms in any software product that does NOT have permission for you to use those forms.

Important! You should immediately destroy all forms in your office that do not have permissions!

I strongly urge all chiropractors to begin utilizing MedicFusion EMR's Outcomes Assessment Library as soon as possible.
