For example, if you are still half on paper, they will want to know that as it may affect your attestation eligibility (your paper patients don’t count towards demonstrating meaningful use). Unfortunately, this may also provide auditors with some additional ammunition in the area of compliance. 7. Supportive Documentation – you will be asked to provide proof that you actually completed the Attestation Module. (Ex: a report from your EHR system that ties to your attestation or screenshots from your system)

Here’s a quick rundown of how to best prepare your chiropractic practice for these and other types of audits: 

But EVERY chiropractor is subject to an audit in some shape or form – whether it’s from Medicare, HIPAA, your local insurance payer or even from your State Board. Face it, audit activity is big business for most of these entities and they make money catching your er- rors. If you want to sleep better at night and keep your hard earned income, you have to protect your practice from audits. The single best way you can do


this (in my biased opinion) is through our Chiropractic Audit Armor training. Check out the program and start protecting your practice today.
