Speaker: Joseph S. Ferezy, D.C.

Live Class (June 2018) Updated 6/23 – 2 CEU

This was a live class for chiropractic doctor’s which was recorded as a part of their continuing education. The class explores the subluxation from the point of view of how to properly document that a subluxation exists and other factors essential for compliance with Federal Medicare Guidelines.  Personal response devices ("clickers") were used by the approximately 60 class participants to add an interactive aspect to the program. Personal opinions of the speaker are inserted to put a provider’s perspective on the Medicare requirements.

Compare and contrast the Medicare reimbursement of chiropractic providers vs. Medical and other providers for similar services.
