From the Director's Desk

Chiropractic was founded on the principle that the body has an innate ability to heal itself when given the correct environment to do so.

Maintaining Positive Cash Flow in the Midst of the ICD-10 Transition

The transition to ICD-10 has represented significant challenges for many providers-from significant time focused on paperwork and processes to dealing with delayed or denied claims. Nothing quite gets the attention of a squeaky wheel when that wheel is cash flow.
