Recently the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress drafted Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice as the spokes person for their cause.
The foundation stated my Kent Greenawalt owner of Foot Levelers began the foundation 2 years ago in an effort to avance the publics knowledge of and enhance the publics view of the chiropractic profession. The initial investment of Mr. Greenawalt and contributions of other has alowed advertizements for chiropractic to appear in highly circulated publications such as Sports Illistraed and USA Today.
If you would like to help carry the ball for chiropractic then contact the foundation at www.foundation4cp.com or Gary Cuneo at gcuneo@aol.com or 703-868-2420

I recently received a call from a CA who was fighting with an insurance carrier over denial of a product that had been precertified. The product was included in the managed care policy the doctor signed with the company and the company had been paying for the procedure up to that point. I offered several options for one of which was Promissory Estoppel. This action isn’t common and it can be a long shot. WHat is it?
Many doctors and their staff members have never heard of Promissory Estoppel. Have you?
How about these terms:
Any willing provider, upcoding, down coding, unbundling, maximizing, Locum Tenens
Give it a shot at defining these and next post I’ll provide the answers.

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Dr. Jeff Miller the interium Director of Education and Research for Foot Levelers Inc. I am a 1987 Palmer graduate who practiced for 17 years. I then taught orthopedics and radiology at Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida for two years. Following my time at Palmer I served as Chairman of the Department of Clinical Sciences and Director of Clinics at Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City. I was at Cleveland for 15 months before accepting my position at FLI.
My full biography can be viewed on my website examdoc.com. My writings and information about my speaking engagements with FLi are also listed there.
This new blog was offered to me by Chiropractic Economics and I greatful for the opprotunity to communicate with the profession through this medium.
The blog will cover a wide range of clinical and practice management information. I look forward to your comments and questions. All efforts will be made to keep the blog relative to chiropractic and avoid side tracks that are unproductive.
Lets start with an insurance related topic. Does anyone have input about the recent change in BC/BS of illinois orthotic coverage?
Jeff
