ChiroHealthUSA
Discount medical plan to CalChiro members and their patients.
ChiroHealthUSA is a provider owned network, that works in conjunction with a Discount Medical Plan Organization (DMPO) that was designed with doctors in mind. Our network model allows you to offer legal network based discounts to cash, under insured and “out of network” patients who are members. Patients covered by Medicare and federal programs are eligible for discounts on non-covered services. The network approach to discounts reduces the risks of compliance and OIG violations related to inducements, improper down coding, dual fee schedules and potentially inappropriate time of service discounts. ChiroHealthUSA only makes membership available to individuals, which means there is no potential for “silent PPOs” activity to lower your reimbursements. The ChiroHealthUSA membership covers your patient and legal dependents for a small annual fee of $49.00.
CHUSAdefense
