I did MT for a local chiropractor for awhile.  To me it was similar to orthopaedics and physical therapy notes that I had also done.  I used the Stedman's Orthopaedic & Rehab book mostly, but looking some things up on the internet.  I was a very low volume account.

Chiro very similar to ortho, some testing is different but very similar to ortho.

As an insurance claims specialist, there are two issues here.


1) Since the mother works for the chiro, it is likely he would not bill the mother for treatment. And, if he did approve of professional courtesy by not charging the mother, then any claim to insurance would be fraudulent in the first place. This will be a policy provision in your own insurance policy.


2) The mother is probably filing fraudulent claims. You MUST speak to the Chiro on a personal and confidential basis. I would either try to contact him by phone, or send a certified letter where only the chiro can sign for the letter. Then you have proof that he received it. It won't take long for the provider to find out if the mother kept the money.


3) Filing a false claim is unlawful and can result in treble damages. You bring it up to your carrier and if it is truly a false claim, you could be entitled to part of the recoupment, if that happens. This could even potentially be a police matter of embezzlement.


4) 50% of all doctor's office will expeience some form of theft by an employee. I've seen it time and again.


No matter what, it doesn't sound right. And since the boy obviously hasn't been to the chiro in a while, it is very suspicious. Since you pay for the insurance and presumably the difference not covered by insurance, you have EVERY right to get involved. Furthermore, just as an innocent bystander, when you know someone is breaking the law, you have an obligation to report it. Don't be intimidated, find out what's going on. Best of luck.

Yes, I do several.  Not overly difficult.  You must absolutely know your anatomy, and there are several "maneuvers" and tests that you need to know.  If you have a Stedman's Ortho book, you should be fine.

I need help with chiro work, I am so desperate, but you have to be local to Miami.  It is typing from doctors notes.

I currently work for a chiro. He dictates via DVR and sends the files via email. Is this how your's works?
