Billing with the Right Modifiers: Getting Paid Correctly

Using the wrong modifier, or using the right one for the wrong reason, is one of the quickest ways chiropractors trigger denials and audit attention. This one-hour webinar clarifies the modifiers chiropractors use most often and the documentation that must support them, with a focus on clean claims and defensible records. We'll address common trouble spots such as modifier 25 for same-day E/M, modifier 59, and X{EPSU} for distinct services, and payer expectations that create confusion in real-world billing.
