Wiki Can a chiropractor bill E/M codes to Medicare

[crhunt78]

I am searching for some documentation from Medicare about E/M visits and chiropractors. Does anyone know if chiropractors can bill Medicare for E/M visits and if so, is there a policy or documentation on this somewhere? Thanks in advance for your help!

Medicare benefits are limited to spinal manipulation only, 98940, 98941 and 98942.

You can bill the E&M and get a denial, if you need it for secondary coverage.
