Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 98941 covers

A chiropractor manipulates three or four of the five spinal regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and pelvic. Treatment usually occurs in an office and may use hands-on, instrument-assisted, or drop-table techniques. A visit treating documented subluxations in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions is an example. Count regions treated, not individual vertebrae adjusted or sides of the spine.

Document the subluxation, supporting findings, and manipulation for each counted region. Medicare covers a chiropractor’s manual spinal manipulation to correct subluxation when the subluxation is established by X-ray or physical examination. A physical examination must document at least two PART findings, including asymmetry or restricted range of motion. Use modifier AT for active or corrective treatment; Medicare treats claims without AT as maintenance care and denies them. The 0-day global period includes routine same-day preoperative and postoperative care. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
