Report Description:
In calendar years (CYs) 2014 and 2015, Medicare allowed payments of approximately $1.3 billion for chiropractic services provided to Medicare beneficiaries nationwide. Previous OIG reviews found that Medicare inappropriately paid for chiropractic services that were medically unnecessary, incorrectly coded, or undocumented. After analyzing Medicare claims data, we selected for review Twin Palms Chiropractic Health Center, Inc. (Twin Palms), in Venice, Florida. Our analysis indicated that Twin Palms was among the top five chiropractors in Florida based on three Current Procedural Terminology codes billed to Medicare for chiropractic services.
