Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A specialized compliance operating system built specifically for physical therapy and chiropractic practices - not a generic HIPAA binder with your logo on it. Physical therapy and chiropractic care carries a distinct compliance risk profile that most healthcare compliance guides completely ignore: mobile and home-based treatment, dense referral relationships with physicians and attorneys, workers' compensation and personal-injury caseloads, cash-pay wellness services alongside insurance-based skilled care, and documentation that must independently justify medical necessity at every single visit. This 238-page reference manual was built to be used, not just read. It combines education, ready-to-adopt policies, audit tools, and staff training into one working system a clinic owner or compliance officer can open today and start using immediately. Inside, you'll find: - 38 in-depth chapters covering HIPAA privacy and security, OSHA, mobile device and home-visit compliance, workers' comp and personal-injury record handling, documentation standards, billing and coding risk, referral relationships, vendor and business associate management, telehealth, and incident response- Separate, dedicated regulatory deep dives for physical therapy and for chiropractic practice- 30 ready-to-use checklists, logs, and audit tools, including a scored 100-point internal compliance audit- 12 full-text sample policies and 8 sample patient-facing forms, ready to adapt- 16 real-world case studies drawn from the specific risks these practices face- Fully worked sample clinical documentation templates showing exactly what defensible documentation looks like- A 30-day implementation plan and a full annual compliance calendar- A consolidated worksheet for researching the state-specific rules that vary by jurisdiction

Every legal and regulatory claim in this manual is grounded in primary federal sources (HIPAA, OSHA, CMS, OIG, the Anti-Kickback Statute, and the Stark Law) with clear "MUST / SHOULD / MAY" labeling, and every point that depends on state law says so explicitly rather than guessing. This is an educational and operational reference. It is not legal advice and does not replace guidance from qualified counsel, a billing specialist, your licensing board, or your payer. If you own, manage, or handle compliance for a physical therapy or chiropractic practice, this is the manual built for how your practice actually operates.
