“WE ARE IN THE FINAL WINDOW!!!”

So many calls about PQRS. So many of my colleagues not taking this seriously. Becoming Medicare Compliant is a “voluntary” process they say. Let us understand what the government means by “voluntary”.

You voluntarily pay your income taxes. Oh, so you don’t have to if you don’t want to! However, your life as you now know it “will change!” The same for Medicare Compliance, becoming paperless and following the Physicians Quality Reporting System (PQRS). If you wish to be in Chiropractic practice in 2017, you better make use of this “final” window we are now in.

Who has to do this? Everyone and anyone seeing and billing Medicare patients. It’s that simple. If you adjust a Medicare patient, federal law requires you to bill Medicare within one year. You must become Medicare Compliant, use electronic billing and record keeping, and apply the PQRS Codes.
