In the ever-evolving landscape of chiropractic care, one element often overlooked is the intricate world of credentialing. It’s not the glamorous side of running a practice, yet, it is undeniably crucial. Enter Target Coding, a game-changer in the chiropractic sphere, now teaming up with the esteemed Dr. Marty Kotlar to decode the complexities of chiropractic billing and coding.
A Unique Approach to Credentialing
“This is one of the things that makes us unique,” remarks Dr. Kotlar. It’s not your typical practice-building seminar, not about acquiring new patients but uplifting chiropractors into the world of credentialing. The partnership with Target Coding promises to be a beacon of support, particularly in the areas of Medicare, major medical insurance, CA QH, durable medical equipment (DME), and NPIs.
Navigating the Credentialing Maze
For those who’ve threaded the path of credentialing, Dr. Kotlar acknowledges the headaches and frustrations that often accompany the process. “Credentialing is not a fun process,” he admits. Chiropractors didn’t attend chiropractic school to fill out credentialing applications, but as Dr. Kotlar emphasizes, it’s an essential part of running a successful chiropractic business.
Medicare Credentialing Unveiled
Delving into Medicare credentialing, Dr. Kotlar sheds light on the importance of having an active Medicare P-TAN number. The red, white, and blue card patients, the Medicare beneficiaries, are a significant part of chiropractic practice. Without the proper enrollment, chiropractors may find themselves unable to serve this demographic. Dr. Kotlar’s analogy comparing the process to assembling a barbecue humorously underlines the complexities involved.
DME Certification: A Lucrative Venture
The discussion expands to DME certification, a lucrative avenue for chiropractors. Dr. Kotlar clarifies that chiropractors can become certified DME providers through Medicare, allowing them to get reimbursed for items such as back braces and knee braces. The financial gains are substantial, making DME distribution a potentially profitable revenue stream for chiropractors.
Target Coding’s Comprehensive Services
The blog wraps up with an acknowledgment of Target Coding’s comprehensive services. Dr. Kotlar highlights their capability to handle various aspects of credentialing, including reassignment of benefits and revalidation. For chiropractors expanding their practices or hiring additional chiropractors, these services become invaluable, streamlining the often tedious process.
In conclusion, Target Coding, under the guidance of Dr. Marty Kotlar, is transforming the narrative around chiropractic billing and coding.
