It is not illegal to write off a patient’s copay balance if the provider makes a good-faith attempt to collect. However, when a provider has a policy of not attempting to collect copays that becomes illegal. Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, identified several suspect behaviors that indicate illegal routine copay waiver.

Advertisements that state that Medicare will be accepted as payment in full.
Advertisements that promise discounts to Medicare beneficiaries.
Routine use of financial hardship forms without attempt to determine patient’s financial situation.
Collection of copayments only where patient has supplemental insurance that pays for copays.
Charging more to Medicare beneficiaries to offset the waiver of coinsurance.
Sham insurance programs that offer to cover copays but have insignificant premiums.

FAQ: “Do we need PPE policies if we’re not a medical clinic?”

YES.

OSHA requires written safety, infection control, and hazard policies for every healthcare clinic — including chiropractic.

That means you need documented PPE procedures, exposure control plans, and training… even if you think you “don’t really use PPE.”

ChiroArmor builds these policies for you so nothing gets missed.
