Hi all,
I do acupuncture billing in an area saturated with acupuncturists. I am not looking to take on new clients right now, as I am pretty full.
I often get calls from acupuncturists looking to "pick my brain/ ask a 'quick' question" i.e. looking for free advice. They all do their own billing and not looking to hire me.
I am thinking of holding a Q&A billing seminar for about 5-10 acupuncturists in my area and charging them (of course!)
Are there any legal ramifications to this? I.E. - someone submits a fraudulent claim and says "well Christy said I could do this, etc."
Is there a disclaimer I should have them sign?
any other experience/ advice?
much appreciated!!!

I would not be able to advise you on any local legal ramifications, however I would think a disclaimer would be a good idea. I have not personally done anything like that so I really cannot be of much help. Sorry!

thank you, Michele! 8)

Yes. A Disclaimer will be a good idea. I would also think of substantiating your advices to the attendants with pieces of documents / articles that you found from authenticated sources such as CMS web resources, AAPC website, LCD guidelines, CCI Edits, any journals / newsletters that you have subscribed for, etc.
Telling them like "I tried billing like this or that and so the claims got paid" may not be a good idea. That might come back on you. JMHO
