Billing & Coding: Veteran’s Administration

Welcome to your billing and coding weekly solutions by H.J. Ross Company where getting your bills paid is what we do best!

There are several ways a chiropractic office can be paid and one of those avenues is the Veteran’s Administration (VA) Choice program.

The VA Choice program allows veterans enrolled in the program to receive care from chiropractors registered with Triwest (in the western half of the U.S.) and Optum Health (for the eastern portion).

Here are five things to know about chiropractic coverage under the VA Choice program:

1. The VA Choice program covers complete care.

2. Patients require direct authorization for chiropractic visit.

3. Authorized visits can range from 12 to 48 chiropractic visits.

4. Payment for services includes: chiropractic manipulation, exams, X-rays and more.

5. There is no deductible or out-of-pocket cost to patients.

Remember, billing with incorrect chiropractic CPT codes can lead to claim rejections and delays in payments, which can have a devastating impact on generating revenue and keeping you in business. 

If you are experiencing insurance claim denial, staff spending too much time trying to get claims paid, and patients asking why their claims have not been paid then H. J. Ross Company is your solution.

H.J Ross Company stays ahead of the curve on the latest trends and changes in billing and coding by utilizing their direct channel of communication with the insurance companies and organizations that set the guidelines.

There is a reason chiropractors have trusted H.J. Ross Company with their business for over 40 years.
