Medicaid Diagnosis Revision Not Available until 2017
NCCA members will remember that the first list of ICD-10 diagnosis codes for chiropractic under Medicaid were erroneous in that the majority of codes were for variations of headaches. After persistent follow up by the NCCA, the list of codes was revised in June however it was still an incomplete list as there was only a code, for instance, for right sided sciatica with lumbago but no left sided code.
After additional follow up from the NCCA Medicaid agreed to another revision of the approved codes but we were notified today that the revised code list will not be available until early 2017. If you are having claims denied, please
email the NCCA office and ask that your issue be forwarded to the resolution team at Medicaid, or visit the Medicaid Member Support page on the NCCA website.

ACA Responds to OIG Report on Improper Medicare Payments for Chiropractic Services
(Courtesy of the ACA)
In response to a new federal report outlining chiropractic Medicare documentation deficiencies, ACA President David Herd, DC, has issued a statement emphasizing ACA's proactive efforts to address the issue and its commitment to reducing waste and improving care in the Medicare system. The Office of Inspector General report, based on 2013 data and featured in today's Wall Street Journal, states that hundreds of millions in Medicare payments for chiropractic services did not comply with requirements. Dr. Herd points out that the report does not account for recent successful efforts to improve documentation.
