This course dives deep into the intersection of clinical documentation and medicolegal standards. You'll learn how to align subjective findings with objective data from diagnostics and daily notes, making your records airtight for insurers, attorneys, and peer reviews. Explore the real-world application of AMA guidelines to assess ligament laxity, determine injury permanency, and navigate the nuanced differences among the 4th, 5th, and 6th editions of the AMA Guides.
We’ll unpack how coding (including M24.28) and terminology directly impact medical necessity and long-term outcomes—both on paper and in the courtroom. You'll also sharpen your ability to define and document subluxations, differentiate DRE categories, and build SOAP notes that stand up to scrutiny. Whether you're dealing with personal injury, long-term care, or insurance disputes, this course will give you the tools to document necessity with precision and purpose.
