Patient Files and Complete Documentation
Patient Files and Complete Documentation
Our Clinical Documentation Page is devoted to a full description of what is considered “complete” patient file documentation, as described by National Associations, Medicare, and Third Party Payors.
It is the intention of this section to inform our profession about the most efficient means of communicating patient information, as well as outlining what is considered an “adequate” presentation. (more…)
Have You Surfed the Site Lately?
Although our “front page” is now a Blog, all our original Sections are still available on the left-hand ToolBar under Resources. They are all still updated frequently.
Many of these Sections have their own Search Tool built into them, so you can find what you want easily.
In fact, we also have a nifty Search Page which can look site-wide (via Google) or can explore each section individually. This will reduce the number of “hits” you get with any search, making it much easier to find what you want.
Do you know how to do a Boolean Search?? Enjoy!
Research And Your Bottom Line
How often has this happened in your practice? You submit an insurance claim, only to receive a denial, labeling the treatment or diagnostic testing you conducted as “observational” or “investigational.” It’s a response familiar to many doctors of chiropractic.
“This is happening so frequently now,” says Charles Herring, DC, president of the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER). “Someone representing the insurance company does a literature search and writes up a policy position stating that X is not a covered benefit, because it’s been determined from the literature [to be] an observational or investigational service.”
These documents, usually called “clinical policy bulletins,” mean that even before your claim can be considered, you have to come up with scientific literature to effectively counter the insurance company’s ruling.
That’s what our Research Section is for. It’s a vast collection of articles supporting the documented benefits of chiropractic care.

Excerpt from the Chiro Org History Section
An excerpt from the wonderful History archive that Dr. Joseph Keating entrusted to chiro.org. These pdf’s form the data source that Dr. Keating used for his many published articles on chiropractic history and are available for browsing.
Excerpted from the pdf on Clarence W. Weiant, DC.
“Chiropractic arrived so recently in Mexico, that the history of its
invasion into this new territory would hardly be worth relating, were
it not for the fact that in so doing I might convey to those who regard
Mexico as a prospective field of practice some idea of the conditions
they may expect to encounter.
When I left Davenport and THE PSC, it was with the exalted
notion that I was to be the pioneer Chiropractor of the whole
Mexican republic, but it was not necessary to go any farther than San
Antonio to have that notion dispelled, for there I learned through Dr.
Gurden , president of the Texas Chiropractic College, that three of his
graduates had already located in Mexican towns. The first, if I am
not mistaken, was Dr. S. Voquero, a native of South America, who, a
few months previous had opened an office in Monterey, in the state
of Nuevo Leon, northern Mexico, and the report was that he was
having noteworthy success.”
