Automatic Checkout Sample Treatment Sets

Below are samples of automatic checkout treatment sets.  Treatment sets are 100% user definable. 

Each treatment set typically has more than one CPT transaction code associated with it.  It is common in chiropractic for a patient to be in a particular treatment regimen. 

If you use treatment sets, you will consistently bill for these services and this will manage your revenue stream very fairly.  Provided that you have appropriate treatment sets defined for your practice style, think of these treatment sets like McDonald's Value Meals.  Treatment sets and Value Meals are both designed for mutual convenience AND revenue stream.

If you do not use treatment sets, that's fine.  Our objective is not to encourage over ambitious billing techniques, but to point out that under ambitious billing is a problem as well.  Many doctors provide services without billing for them.  The patient's health care is the #1 goal.  But the doctor's fair financial compensation is the #2 goal.  Treatment sets help to fairly balance these goals.  Fairness is the operative word in this discussion.

If you do not use treatment sets, these are some benefits you are missing:
1) Your treatment plan is probably defined from visit to visit rather than from short term planning of several visits. 
2) You are missing the billing consistency of treatment planning.
3) You are missing a fair revenue opportunity.

These are samples only for the purposes of encouraging you to define your *own*.  Every practice can decide to do things their own way.

In this naming convention, numbers (1, 3, 5) represent the number of regions adjusted; X = extremity adjustment; H = hot packs; C = cold packs; M = massage; U = ultrasound; E = electrical muscle stimulation; T = traction;

Note:  A patient may have more than one treatment plan.  For example, it is common to have a treatment plan such as 3H as well as a treatment plan of X.  These two treatment plans together would describe "adjustment 3-4 regions, hot packs, extremity adjustment".
