Help with Medicare

Medicare is the largest purchaser of managed care and the largest health payer in the country. Supplying coverage for over 43 million Americans and growing with the aging of the boomer population, the impact it has in the health arena cannot be denied.

Parker College of Chiropractic shares with you the following series of articles that have been prepared by the Association of Chiropractic Colleges Post-Graduate Subcommittee to serve doctors in the field and to address the concerns outlined in the 2005 OIG report.

Although Parker College strives to maintain the highest quality, published articles are subject to some limitations. 1) Discussions about topics as complex as Medicare are necessarily limited and incomplete.  2) In addition, the regulations of Medicare and the procedures of the financial intermediaries are constantly changing. Statements that were accurate when these articles were written may not be accurate by the time you read the statement. Statements may be correct in one region with one financial intermediary, but not correct for another region. 3) Statements expressed in these articles represent the opinions of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Parker College.
