Chiropractic Associates Member,

It appears the US Department of Health & Human Services is going to delay the implementation of ICD-10 until October 1, 2014.  Therefore, the ICD-10 webinar that was scheduled for Thursday, April 12th is being cancelled.

However, on Thursday, May 3rd at 12pm Central time Chiropractic Associates and the Best Practices Academy are sponsoring a webinar entitled “Introduction to PQRS”.  PQRS is CMS’ quality reporting program.

During this webinar Dr. Evan Gwilliam, Director of Education and Consulting at ChiroCode Institute, will provide an introduction to PQRS, including:

  • Why CMS developed this program
  • Whether or not chiropractors are required to participate in the program
  • How to participate in the program
  • How to report performance measures

Jeff Claims Processing Comments Off

CASD – Avera Health Plans providers,

Avera Health Plans recently notified us some claims for members of the City of Sioux Falls, Minnehaha County and Home Federal health plans were processed incorrectly.  An error was made on the information Avera was passing to United Medical Resources (UMR).  Avera is sending corrected pricing sheets to UMR and the affected claims will be reprocessed with the correct information.

Contact the CASD office if you have any questions.
