Payor Policy is Important – I attended the 2009 AAPC (American Academy of Professional Coders) convention in Las Vegas. Perhaps the most valued lesson relearned there was from Mike Miscoe, CPC, JD. Yes, he is a certified professional coder and an attorney. Mike is one of the most knowledgeable consultants in health care reimbursement that I know. His breakout session was on Physical Medicine therapies, which are commonly used by most doctors of chiropractic (as well as PTs and DOs). I relearned the hard realities of payer policy.”
