How is your chiropractic practice handling coordination of benefits?
Coordination of benefits is a way to figure out who pays first when 2 or more health insurance plans are responsible for paying the same insurance claim.
Using coordination of benefits when processing insurance claims help identify the primary payer’s obligations as well as deciding the secondary payer’s portion.
It is important to collect and verify the secondary and primary insurer information at each visit to reduce coordination of benefits worries.
