3 Best-Paying Insurance Companies in 2006-Annual Chiropractic Billing Performance Index

A monthly Billing Precision Index lists ten best paying insurance companies for chiropractic CPT codes in the past month. Participation in the index is driven by multiple criteria starting with necessary minimum of submitted claims and including the all important billing performance measure, which is the percent of accounts receivable beyond 120 days.

While showing a low percent of accounts receivable beyond 120 days is critical to be included in the billing index, the frequency of participation in the index is a more robust performance measure as it also serves to measure billing performance consistency over longer time period.

For the annual performance review, index participation frequency table shows both the range of monthly index and its stability over time. Since Billing Precision started posting its index only in June 2006, the highest possible frequency earned by an insurance company on 2006 is 7.
