Ethical Coding for Chiropractic  

Ethical Coding is designed specifically for chiropractors seeking to master ethical coding and documentation practices. Participants will gain comprehensive, actionable insights into ICD-10 coding conventions, diagnostic statement construction, evaluation and management protocols, chiropractic manipulative treatment codes, and therapeutic procedure documentation. The program provides an in-depth exploration of ICD-10 coding, enabling practitioners to distinguish between various coding conventions and their application in chiropractic documentation, learn to analyze diagnosis code hierarchies, and construct comprehensive diagnostic statements that support accurate code assignment.

"Dr. Gwilliam is a clear and ethical presenter. He covers coding in a chiropractic practice including therapies, and (in Part 2) how to document services and care plans correctly. This was an excellent course and completely doable beginning immediately. This is one to take, and then review in a couple of months after a self-audit (which he also explains)."  - Renee North, Atlanta, GA
