CCE Planing Panel Meets in Chicago

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

The Council on Chiropractic Education's panel on planning (POP) met Aug. 18-19 for a strategic planning session on the council's future.

CEE President James Winterstein invited key members of the chiropractic community to provide input during the planning meeting, where a draft of a "white paper" was begun. The participants have been invited to attend a second POP meeting in Chicago, Nov. 4, 1993, to discuss that draft. The finished document will be presented to the Council for consideration at a workshop during the CCE's January 1994 meeting.

Results of a feasibility study, conducted by the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS) for possible accreditation of paraprofessional and postgraduate education, were also presented and discussed. The consensus of the meeting's participants was that the CCE should consider expanding its scope to include the accreditation of paraprofessional and specialty/postgraduate education.

Should You Be In-Network or Out-of-Network With Insurance?

It’s a new year and many chiropractors are evaluating what will enhance their respective practices, particularly as it relates to their bottom line. One of the most common questions I get is: “Do I need to be credentialed to bill insurance, and what are the best plans to join?” It’s a loaded question – but one every DC ponders. Whether you're already in-network or pondering whether to join, here's what you need to know.

Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap
Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap

What happens when best practices for patient care fall outside what guidelines endorse or insurance will cover? More importantly, how can clinicians ethically and effectively integrate non-reimbursed services that improve function, reduce disability and support long-term outcomes? These are not just clinical questions; they are economic and policy challenges that directly affect practice viability and patient access.
