Wiki New Guidelins for Myofacial Release with Adjustments?

[Aperring]

We have a doctor that went to a seminar. They said that if you document the specific muscle that the release was performed on, even within the same region as the chiropractic adjustment, would be payable. Has anyone heard of these new guidelines? This is completely different from everything I've read and heard and I can't find anything about this changing anywhere.

I would contact the person who did the seminar and question where they got that information from. That may lead you somewhere....good luck!

My doctor does ART with his adjustments. Most payers will reimburse as long as I include notes as to which muscles he worked. Check with your carrier. It must be billed under a therapy code- we use 97530 or 97110, depending on the carrier.
