too often, they’re doing this work without realizing they can be compensated for it.
The session will clarify which services are billable under Washington L&I rules, how to document them properly, and how to ensure your clinic is compensated for the care and coordination you provide. Attendees will leave with updated billing strategies that reflect recent code changes and policy changes to evaluation and management, including clarifications to chiropractic local treatment and telephone codes.
Updates on Self-Insured Employers and Billing Rules
Navigating the claims process with self-insured employers introduces an additional layer of complexity to workers’ compensation cases. The seminar will offer focused guidance on effectively handling these claims, including crucial differences in documentation and strategies for contact.
Additionally, presenters will provide policy updates on billing E&M codes on the same day as treatment, which is a common source of confusion for providers. Understanding these rules will help clinics avoid billing denials and ensure that patients receive timely care.
Sharpening Diagnostic and Consultation Skills
To help providers translate these insights into everyday practice, “Work Comp 101” will feature interactive case vignettes. These hands-on exercises will walk participants through mock consultations, imaging decisions, and return-to-work planning scenarios. The goal is to enhance diagnostic reasoning and clinical decision-making, particularly in the complex context of work- related injuries.
Whether you’re a doctor or a front desk team member, these vignettes will provide practical, memorable takeaways that enhance the quality of your care, worker outcomes, and documentation.
A Glimpse into the Future
Finally, attendees will get a sneak peek at upcoming rule changes that may soon affect physical medicine coverage for chiropractors. These changes could impact the types of treatments reimbursed, utilization thresholds, and documentation requirements. Early awareness will allow providers to prepare proactively and adapt their workflows to maintain compliance and optimize care delivery.
Resources You Didn’t Know You Had
Washington’s workers’ compensation system is uniquely structured to support collaboration among providers, workers, and employers. During the session, presenters will highlight essential resources that chiropractors, workers, and employers can access. These include:
• Work Rehabilitation • Functional Capacity Evaluations • Job Analyses • Activity Coaching • Behavioral Health Intervention • Loss of Earning Power • Job Modifications • Retraining
Learning how to utilize these tools can streamline care, reduce administrative friction, and enhance outcomes across the board.
