Chiropractic billing requires distinguishing active/corrective care from maintenance care in every visit note. Medicare and most commercial plans require documented functional improvement at each visit using validated outcome measures (Oswestry Disability Index, PROMIS scores) to justify continued spinal manipulation (CPT 98940–98943). MedSynthea's RISK agent monitors per-payer visit accumulation limits and alerts practices when documentation must escalate to support continued medical necessity.
