There is a lot to manage in any chiropractic practice. Coding, compliance, billing… all take significant time and effort and can monopolize doctors’ valuable time! A recent study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that for every hour doctors spend seeing patients, they spend two doing non-clinical administrative tasks.

“The administrative burden placed on health care professionals is completely unsustainable,” said Donald M. Reno, DC, Executive Director, MichiCare. “Is that why you became a chiropractor? To do paperwork?”

That’s why MichiCare, a wholly owned subsidiary of the MAC has created MichiCare Service Organization (MSO), a management services organization designed with the special needs of chiropractors in mind. MichiCare Service Organization offers turn-key solutions for new and existing chiropractic practices, helping your practices thrive in the ever-changing health care environment of the 21st Century.

MichiCare Service Organization can take on the administrative and management functions currently bogging you down and costing you money! These services include:

• BILLING: Claims administration, coding, documentation, sourcing, collections, credentialing, provider enrollment, contract management, and more.
• PRACTICE CONSULTING: Asset protection strategies, regulatory compliance management of complex systems such as HIPAA’s Privacy and Security rules, Stark Law compliance, assistance with state and federal anti-kickback laws, and succession planning.
• INTEGRATED PRACTICE ASSISTANCE: Expert assistance in forming legal structures, meeting all regulatory requirements, and creating successful practices of like-minded healthcare providers.
• HEALTHCARE IT SOLUTIONS: Assistance with all aspects of IT practice needs, and expert help maintaining compliance and reducing risk.

“MichiCare Service Organization will help chiropractors leverage their resources efficiently to focus on what they do best – provide exceptional clinical care to their patients,” said Dr. Reno. “And, since the MAC and MichiCare are dedicated to putting resources from the profession back into the profession, we can assure that chiropractic remains strong in our state and beyond!”
