"Medicare Made Simple"

The continued need for more Medicare documentation training for chiropractic offices remains painfully clear. The number of DCs receiving yellow requests for records has tripled. Not only is Medicare important in chiropractic practices throughout the nation, but the Medicare program, and certain policies/procedures it uses, serves as a model for many other insurer programs. We cannot afford to not understand this program.

This comprehensive training seminar has been designed specifically for Indiana Doctors of Chiropractic and their staff. It provides the most accurate and current information available to help you get it right.
