Master Clinical Documentation + Coding for Chiropractic & Spine Care

ICD-10 • CPT • E&M • Rehab • Demonstrable Medical Necessity

If you’re still losing reimbursement—or watching claims get delayed, reduced, or denied—this training is designed to fix it. You’ll learn a repeatable, documentation-driven system for coding accurately, linking services to diagnosis, and proving medical necessity across the full care timeline—from initial evaluation to post-acute rehabilitation.

Built for chiropractors and spine-focused providers who want to:

• Code E&M and treatment confidently (without guesswork)

• Reduce denials with diagnosis-linked documentation

• Support treatment frequency, duration, and progression with objective findings

• Create “audit-ready” notes that communicate medical necessity clearly

Format: 3-hour intensive training
Audience: DCs, documentation teams, billing/coding staff, and interdisciplinary spine clinics
Best for: Practices in [City, State] and across the U.S. looking to improve compliance and collections

Meet the Instructors

Mark Studin, DC, FPSC, FASBE(C), DAAPM

Primary Spine Care • Documentation • Compliance • Outcomes-Based Reporting

Dr. Mark Studin is recognized for training chiropractors and spine-care professionals in the clinical and administrative systems that support defensible, reimbursable, evidence-based care. His work emphasizes documentation that clearly communicates diagnosis, functional loss, and the objective need for treatment—especially in cases requiring higher scrutiny.

What Dr. Studin brings to this training:

• Real-world documentation frameworks used in high-accountability environments

• Diagnosis-to-service cross-linking strategies that withstand payer review

• Demonstrable documentation approaches that translate clinically and administratively

Don Capoferri, DC, FSBT, FPSC

Spine Care • Rehab Integration • Practical Documentation Systems

Dr. Don Capoferri brings a dual clinical and systems-based perspective to coding and documentation, integrating rehabilitation principles with accurate ICD-10/CPT application and consistent, defensible note structures.

What Dr. Capoferri brings to this training:

• Practical, clinic-tested workflows for post-acute and rehab documentation

• Care progression strategies that connect objective findings to coding

• Documentation methods that support active care, HEP, and functional improvement

What You’ll Learn (3-Hour Syllabus)

Hour 1 — Coding Initial Care: E&M → Treatment (Diagnosis-Linked)

You’ll learn how to code the initial encounter correctly—starting with E&M and moving into treatment, while properly connecting every service to diagnosis.

You’ll cover:

• ICD-10 selection and structure for initial evaluation

• CPT coding for treatment services during the early phase of care

• Cross-linking diagnosis to services to strengthen defensibility

• Reducing vulnerability in payer review by documenting intent, findings, and plan

Outcome: Your initial visit documentation supports both clinical decision-making and accurate reimbursement.

Hour 2 — Coding Post-Acute Care Through Rehabilitation (Including HEP)

This hour focuses on building clean, compliant, and reimbursable coding systems for the post-acute phase—where audits and denials often increase due to weak documentation.

You’ll cover:

• ICD-10 and CPT coding for post-acute care and rehab progression

• How to document and code home exercise programs properly

• Cross-linking diagnosis to rehab services and exercise-based interventions

• Demonstrating progression and necessity beyond symptom reporting

Outcome: You’ll be able to code and document rehab care in a way that makes the “why” crystal clear to payers.

Hour 3 — Proving Medical Necessity with Demonstrable Documentation

This is the “make-or-break” segment: learning how to validate necessity of care using objective, measurable findings—not subjective symptoms alone.

You’ll cover:

• How to build a defensible story using objective documentation

• X-ray digitizing and how to reference imaging correctly in care justification

• Range of motion documentation that supports functional loss and progress

• Muscle testing and its role in documentation and care necessity

• Comparing:

  • Global dysfunction (whole system movement impairment) vs.

  • Motor unit dysfunction (segmental/region-specific dysfunction)

• How to write notes that show clear need for continued care and progression

Outcome: Your documentation becomes demonstrable—stronger for reimbursement, audits, referrals, and medico-legal scrutiny.

Why This Training Works

This isn’t “coding theory.” It’s a practical system used in real clinics—built to help you document like a clinician and communicate like a payer needs to see it.

You’ll walk away with:

• A coding-and-documentation framework you can implement immediately

• Diagnosis-to-service linkage clarity across phases of care

• Objective findings strategies to support medical necessity

• More consistent reimbursement and fewer preventable denials
