: Mixing two different professional codes...for example chiro and acupuncture
: Hahn July 29, 2010, 08:09:39 PM

Hi...

I would like to know if it is possible to mix chiropractic billing code and acupuncure code
in one bill?   This bill is for Personal injury cases, not for regular blue cross type.

To further describe, the chiropractor and Acupuncturist are working together in one same office
and they are partners.  If they both see the patient, can we just use one billing with two
professional codes?

If this is not possible, then, should we bill separately?  Or which way to bill?   

Thank you.

They would have to be on separate claims because you need to indicate the rendering provider, and in this case it is two separate people.
