Claims must report the precise level(s) of subluxation as the primary diagnosis and the neuromusculoskeletal condition necessitating treatment as the secondary diagnosis.
Each claim must include date of initiation of the course of treatment, symptom/secondary diagnosis code(s), subluxation/primary diagnosis code(s), date of service, place of service, and procedure code; missing items may cause denial or delay.
Diagnosis codes supporting medical necessity must be submitted with each claim; progress notes need not accompany each claim but must be maintained and available upon request.
Chiropractor must file the claim, and when providing active/corrective treatment they must append the AT modifier; if provider believes service is likely to be denied, an Advance Beneficiary Notification (ABN) must be obtained and the GA modifier used.

Medicare covers manual manipulation of the spine (chiropractic manipulative treatment) for treatment of spinal subluxation using CPT codes 98940, 98941, or 98942 when medically necessary.
Subluxation must be demonstrated and documented (by x-ray or physician/chiropractic exam) with the problem/complaint addressed and the precise level of each subluxation treated specified in the medical record.
Active/corrective treatment for acute or chronic subluxation requires use of the AT modifier on claims.
Clinical findings supporting subluxation should follow PART elements (Pain, Asymmetry/misalignment, Range of motion abnormality, Tissue/tone changes) documented by observation, palpation, imaging, or measurement as appropriate.
Taped and un-taped visual field testing count as one unit of service for MUE (medically unlikely edits) purposes.
Global visual field services (technical plus professional) are payable under Medicare Part B when billed in place of service: Office (11), Nursing Facility (32), and Independent Clinic (49).
