2020 Medicare and Compliance Guidelines for the Chiropractic Office (Springfield)

There is one thing you can count on when you are dealing with Medicare.  By the time you figure out the system, it will change.  Major changes in Medicare coverage and requirements are on the way!  Two significant initiatives are taking effect in 2020; “Patients Over Paperwork” and the elimination of Parts F and C Medigap.  In addition, the ABN form is scheduled to be updated in March, Medicare has changed acceptable diagnoses and the NEW Plans G and N were unveiled. It is important to have a clear understanding when a practice is at risk for non-compliance.
 

We are happy to bring Dr. Mario Fucinari back to teach for the ICS.  As a seasoned practitioner and a nationally recognized speaker, author and instructor, he has decades of experience in compliance, coding, and documentation.  Dr. Mario Fucinari is a member of the Carrier Advisory Committee for Medicare, and a Certified Professional Compliance Officer (CPCO).  This class is designed for everybody; doctors, staff, billers, and students will gain useful information!
