Proactive Chart Review (PCR)

Is Your Documentation Subluxated?

Let’s Take A Peek!

How do you find the balance in documentation? It’s usually pretty hard to hit a target if you’re shooting in the dark. With that in mind, good documentation is like that target. If it’s taking over your life and denials are piling up, it is time for a Documentation Check-Up and Proactive Chiropractic Chart Review.

Many providers are reactive. However, a proactive stance is more successful and professional. At KMC University our certified specialists know their documentation. For instance, they can look at your documentation and readily identify mistakes or problems before an auditor sees it. Moreover, the process is simple. Just choose a recent new patient chart and we’ll review it for errors, coding blunders, and compliance concerns. We can quickly identify problem coding and point out areas where you may be leaving money on the table by comparing your 1500 billing forms or itemized statements to you documentation.

• • A certified compliance specialist reviews your chart electronically, making specific notes and suggestions right on your copy of the file.
  • An online meeting where we’ll go over the findings, point out the issues, and provide suggested feedback to correct errors found.
