Secondary Neuromuscular skeletal diagnosis codes:
the acceptable neuromuscular
skeletal diagnosis codes will vary depending on the Medicare processor in your
state. When you are billing Medicare, the primary diagnosis must be M99 followed
by the digits which explain the level of subluxation.

Using an ABN:
Advanced Beneficiary Notice:
Whenever
you provide services that you believe will be rejected by Medicare, it is a good
idea to use an ABN. This notifies the patient that you believe the services will
be rejected by Medicare. Examples of the need for ABM include x-rays, massage
therapy, traction, electrical stimulation. Basically, Medicare only pays for
chiropractic manipulation: 98940, 98941, 98942. Almost everything else fits
under the need to have an ABN signed by the patient. ABN
