Chiropractic Compliance: Don’t Be Afraid to Do It Right
Hot Topics from the KMC University HelpDesk
When chiropractors hear the word compliance, it can feel intimidating. Ads and conversations often make it sound like a burden—“get the compliance monkey off your back.” But chiropractic compliance doesn’t have to be scary or complicated. In reality, compliance is simply the framework that protects your practice, your patients, and your reputation.

What Chiropractic Compliance Really Means
Compliance is an umbrella term that covers many areas: HIPAA privacy rules, OIG compliance, and Medicare requirements. Some chiropractors mistakenly believe they don’t need an in-office compliance program. The truth? If you deal with insurance at all—and especially if you work with Medicare—you need a compliance plan.
Scaled to Fit Your Practice
The good news is that compliance programs aren’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re a solo doctor with one CA or a larger chiropractic office, your compliance plan can be scaled to match your needs. That means you don’t have to overcomplicate the process. Instead, you identify your risks, tighten up the rough edges, and put practical policies in place that work for your office.

Audits and oversight aren’t going away. Taking time to strengthen your compliance program now ensures your practice is protected later. Plus, it gives you peace of mind knowing that you’re operating ethically and above board.
