DMK:
Just piping in regarding chiropractors.  It is NOT true that their malpractice is higher than other medical providers.  It's among the cheapest.  Don't know about the E/O comparisons though.  There are a lot of dishonest ones out their.  But there are a lot of honest, hard working, caring ones out there too.  The billing shouldn't be complicated at all.  The rules are pretty straight forward.  Unfortunately, the one's out there for the money, not the care, are learning bad things from the seminars showing them how to bilk the system.  Avoid the "cash" practices and the pre-pay practices like the plague.  A good chiropractor should have some result within 5 visits or refer you out.

And shanbull, if the record supports a 3-4, don't worry about it.  If the record and diagnosis doesn't support it, it shouldn't be billed....period.

Michele:
I agree with DMK.  I have had the pleasure to work with many very honest and caring chiropractors.  I have also met some of the not so honest ones.  I don't actively seek them out or market them because they can be more difficult.  They get asked for notes often.  The NYS comp laws have crippled them.  I understand why comp needed to change but they went from one extreme to another.  Now patients are being denied necessary treatment and I'm not strictly referring to Chiropractic.  A good friend fell at work and had a complex fracture in her arm.  She was denied OT under the new WC laws.
