I was talking to a grad who had worked in an office as an associate for a year before starting her chiropractic practice.  The doctor she worked for told her to do things (insurance biling, in this case) in a certain way.  She found out through some investigation that what he was telling her was incorrect. 

I heard of someone else who got some bad advice. In this case, the advisor said that if Blue Cross/Blue Shield allowed 24 office visits a year, they could be for wellness care.  Wrong.  BC/BS didn’t allow the visits because they weren’t condition-based.  If you were relying on this advice and had billed BC/BS for lots of patients, you might have a very large bill to pay them.

Bottom line:  Take advice, but verify before you rely on it.  Do your homework.  It’s the only way you will know you’re right.
