Going on vacation?

Need a leave of absence from your chiropractic clinic?

Make plans for the care of your patients.

Here are your options:

• Refer your patients to another Fulcrum network provider in your area.
• Close your office and have an emergency number on your answering system.
• Invite a Fulcrum network provider to cover your office and contact Fulcrum.
• Locum tenens which is utilizing an out-of-network provider and contact Fulcrum.

If you choose the locum tenens option, coverage must be 60 days or less. If an extension beyond 60 days is necessary, the provider must become credentialed and contracted with Fulcrum Health. This provider must complete a Temporary Relief Application request by contacting credentialing@fulcrumhealthinc.org and follow proper billing practices.

Claim edits pertaining to the substantiation of 6-view Plain Film X-rays will require a clinical records review before claims are processed.

For dates of service on or after 1/1/2024, reimbursement for CPT codes 72052 and 72114 will be denied and records will be required for clinical review to determine necessity and appropriate coding.
