Chiropractic Services - Portfolio Report on Medicare Part B Payments

Previous OIG work identified inappropriate payments for chiropractic services that were medically unnecessary, were not documented in accordance with Medicare requirements, or were fraudulent. We will compile the results of prior OIG audits, evaluations, and investigations of chiropractic services paid by Medicare to identify trends in payment, compliance, and fraud vulnerabilities and offer recommendations to improve detected vulnerabilities. This planned work will offer recommendations to reduce Medicare chiropractic vulnerabilities that were detected in prior OIG work.
