Chiro Decompression Therapy?

(1/1)

Christy:
what code do you use for chiro decompression?

thanks!!! :)

DMK:
Even though the Chiro may dispute this.....Spinal "decompression" is a fancy way of saying lumbar traction.  It's 97012 - Mechanical traction.  The insurance reimbursement isn't much for this service.  But I'm sure the Chiro has a contract with the patient to pay much more for the service.

As the biller, make sure you understand 100% of the contract the doctor has with the insurance company and the patient so you're not caught up in any unintended billing fraud.

Christy:
thanks DMK!
