The Chiropractors Fix Kit
Built for chiropractors.
A chiropractic practice is paid visit by visit, often by insurers with their own rules, so money leaks in the gaps between the visit and the deposit: claims denied for the same reason month after month, claims that aged past the filing window, payments below the contract, balances never collected at the desk, and card fees nobody added up. I wrote this kit so you can find each one in your own reports.

Free: one full leak from this kit
No sign-up, no email. Here is leak 1 of 8 exactly as it appears in the kit, so you can see what you get before you buy.
Denied claims never sorted by reason code, so the same denial repeats
You can close it- Export every denied or partly paid claim for the last quarter from your practice software or clearinghouse, with the payer, procedure code and reason code.
- Sort by reason code and count each one.
- For the top three reasons, find the cause at the front desk or in documentation: eligibility, missing attachment, code, frequency limit, timely filing.
- Fix the cause first, then rework the open claims that can still be corrected or appealed.
- Your own denial list is the benchmark; no outside rate is claimed.
Your part: Run the report, fix the causes, and decide which claims to appeal.
Denial review worksheet: Period: [DATES] Reason code | Count | Amount | Root cause | Fix | Owner [CODE] | [NUMBER] | [AMOUNT] | [CAUSE] | [FIX] | [NAME] Open claims to rework: [LIST] Appeal deadline for each: [DATES]
Run the denial report on the same day every month.
What this kit can't decide for you: Coverage and appeal rules are set by each payer contract and plan. We do not interpret them.
That's 1 of 8. The other 7 come the same way in the kit: steps, words to send, a habit to keep each one closed.

What people in this work look up
When chiropractors go looking for answers, they search things like “chiropractic billing”, “chiropractic insurance billing”, “chiropractor salary” and “chiropractic claim denials”. Those searches turn up forms, averages and other people's numbers. This kit starts from your own records instead: the 8 places money leaks in this work, where to look first and the words to send to close each one.
What you get for each leak
- Numbered steps to close each leak
- Your part, spelled out
- Words you can use: letters and scripts, ready to send (fill in the brackets)
- A habit that keeps each leak from coming back
- An honest line on what the kit can't decide for you
