Since medical providers fail to provide full information on the risks of vaccines, the World Chiropractic Alliance is encouraging parents to seek out such information themselves. The WCA singled out the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) as the primary source of valuable information. ``A few hours spent on the NVIC website -- www.909shot.com -- can be the best investment parents can make in their children's health,'' Dr. Rondberg added.

Chiropractic has especially demanding conditions in terms of office automation because of high processing volumes, low average claim payment value, and a uniquely high likelihood for audit. First, chiropractors see many more patients than any other specialists, often exceeding the average family practice visit frequency by an order of magnitude. Chiropractic is ... the fastest growing specialty in terms of Medicare reimbursements that grew from 11.2 million services and $255 allowed in 1994 to 21 million services and $683 million allowed in 2004. Hence, simplistic SOAP note management and traditional electronic patient scheduling alone are not powerful enough for meaningful productivity improvements. Next, at an average reimbursement is $28, 82% of chiropractors supplement their revenue with retail product sales at the point of service. So, chiropractic billing software must be able to handle the widest range of financial arrangements, including insurance and cash payments, retails sales, and care plans.

Chiropractic "practice-builder" convicted of insurance fraud. A federal jury in Clarksburg, West Virginia has found Ronald L. Halstead, D.C., and two West Virginia chiropractors guilty of charges relating to a conspiracy to commit mail fraud and health care fraud. Halstead was found guilty of one count of conspiracy, 14 counts of health care fraud, and 11 counts of money laundering; and William C. Filcheck Jr. D.C., and Scott G. Taylor , D.C. were both found guilty of one count of conspiracy and 14 counts of health care fraud. A fourth defendant, Robert B. Burns, Jr., D.C., who owned the clinics in which the fraud took place, has been arrested in Ireland and is fighting to prevent extradition to face the charges. The scheme involved the submission of false claims to Medicare and private insurance companies for more than $2.8 million in order to evade payment limitations. Halstead has been teaching chiropractors how to boost their incomes for more than 20 years.

Patients who do not exercise appropriately in conjunction with their Chiropractic adjustments will find that the adjustment gives them temporary relief by restoring their biomechanical and neurological function. However, their new found function will not last without regular exercise. This is because the body adopts muscle patterns that are based on existing physical activity.
