Our certified chiropractic medical billers help chiropractors, physical therapy centers, and musculoskeletal care providers across the United States streamline their reimbursement process with accuracy and compliance. Backed by over a decade of experience and CPC/CPB-certified billing experts, we handle insurance verification, claims tracking, payment posting, and denial management following CMS guidelines and state-specific payer rules. Every claim is processed with transparency to ensure faster payments, fewer denials, and complete HIPAA compliance. Our team stays current with Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payer updates, as well as the latest CPT and ICD-10 changes relevant to chiropractic and rehabilitative care—delivering trustworthy, results-driven billing solutions for providers nationwide.
When chiropractors outsource their billing, they want a partner who truly understands the nuances of their work—not just another generic billing vendor. MedStates was built specifically to serve chiropractic and therapy providers, combining certified billing expertise with a deep understanding of musculoskeletal and rehabilitative care documentation.
Our team understands the unique billing requirements of chiropractors, physical therapy centers, and spinal health clinics. From managing insurance pre-authorizations to coding manual therapy and adjustment procedures, we handle every detail with accuracy. Providers trust MedStates because we combine specialty-specific expertise, proactive claim follow-ups, and real-time financial reporting—turning complex billing challenges into a predictable payment process.
Whether you run a solo chiropractic office or a multi-location therapy center, MedStates adapts to your workflow and payer mix. Our billing teams are trained on chiropractic-specific requirements, including modifier AT usage, therapy bundling rules, and Medicare chiropractic limitations.


Our chiropractic billing process combines automation, payer-specific compliance, and real human expertise. Every stage of your revenue cycle—verification, coding, submission, and posting is optimized for precision and transparency. At MedStates, our billing process for chiropractors is built to streamline claim management from start to finish. We combine advanced billing software, specialty-trained staff and payer-specific knowledge to eliminate errors and reduce turnaround times. This comprehensive claims workflow for chiropractic and therapy practices helps improve reimbursement accuracy, minimize denials, and maintain compliance with all insurance carriers.
We assist providers with completing documentation and contracts negotiations with payers, enrollment and re-credentialing for Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial carriers, ensuring a smooth setup process.
Before appointments, we verify each patient’s insurance coverage, chiropractic and therapy benefits, and pre-authorization requirements to communicate copay or deductible responsibilities clearly.
Our certified billers review your daily notes and documentation to ensure CPT, ICD-10, and modifier accuracy. We specialize in coding for spinal adjustment codes, therapeutic exercise and manual therapy techniques to meet payer guidelines.
Once your claims are coded and reviewed, they are submitted electronically through EDI connections with all major payers. Our system flags missing data or mismatched CPT-ICD pairs before submission to minimize rejections.
Our specialists monitor every claim post-submission to track payer acknowledgments, denials, and adjustments. When a denial occurs, we perform a detailed root cause analysis, correct the issue, and resubmit with proper documentation.
Our revenue cycle management (RCM) for chiropractic and therapy practices covers every step of the billing process. We ensure claims are clean, verified, and payer-ready before submission, reducing denials and rework.
MedStates integrates seamlessly with leading EHR and practice management systems used by chiropractors and therapy providers. Our technology syncs patient data, charge entries, and claim statuses automatically — reducing manual effort and eliminating duplication errors.
We believe every provider deserves visibility into their financial health. Our monthly reports track reimbursement trends, denial causes, payer lag times, and AR days, allowing you to make informed business decisions.
Correct coding is the foundation of a clean claim. Even minor errors in CPT or ICD-10 usage can delay payments, trigger denials, or flag compliance risks. At MedStates, our certified billers apply the most precise codes for chiropractic adjustments, therapy modalities, and rehabilitation sessions—ensuring every encounter is properly documented and fully reimbursable. Our billing company in the USA continuously monitors CPT code updates, payer policy changes, and modifier requirements to stay aligned with both commercial insurers and Medicare chiropractic rules. We help chiropractors avoid costly mistakes such as missing AT modifiers, incorrect therapy bundling, or mismatched CPT/ICD combinations.
Below are some of the most frequently billed chiropractic and physical therapy procedure codes that our team handles daily. These codes support a range of spinal and musculoskeletal treatments:

| Spinal manipulation (3–4 regions) | CPT 98941 | Adjustment for multiple spinal regions |

Many chiropractic clinics also provide physical therapy and rehabilitation services. To ensure accurate claim submissions and compliance, it’s essential to understand the CPT codes for physical therapy that often overlap with chiropractic billing.
When billing time-based therapeutic procedures, chiropractors must follow CMS’s 8-minute rule in therapy billing to avoid underbilling or claim rejections
Accurate diagnosis coding supports the CPT procedures above and validates medical necessity. Our billers ensure every ICD-10 code reflects the patient’s clinical presentation and is aligned with payer guidelines.
| Condition | ICD-10 Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Low back pain | ICD M54.5 | Lumbar spine pain, common in adjustment sessions |
| Neck pain | ICD M54.2 | Cervicalgia, stiffness, or upper spine pain |
| Thoracic spine dysfunction | ICD M99.02 | Segmental or vertebral dysfunction in the thoracic region |
| Cervical subluxation | ICD M99.01 | Vertebral subluxation complex, cervical spine |
| Lumbosacral dysfunction | ICD M99.03 | Mechanical issues in the lumbosacral area |
We help chiropractors link CPT and ICD-10 codes properly—avoiding mismatched claim pairs that frequently cause rejections.
Chiropractic billing requires strict documentation alignment between CPT procedures, ICD-10 codes, and modifiers. Our team verifies that each claim includes the right modifier, such as:
Proper modifier usage ensures your claims meet payer medical necessity standards and are not downcoded or denied
Handling chiropractic billing in-house may seem convenient—until the rejections pile up, the claims backlog grows, and your staff spends more time chasing payments than caring for patients. Outsourcing to a specialized billing team gives your practice the structure, consistency, and financial visibility it needs to thrive. At MedStates, we work like an extension of your clinic—combining billing technology, certified expertise, and transparent reporting to deliver measurable financial gains.
