What constitutes excessive billing?

Billing for services that were not performed is considered excessive billing because it involves charging a patient for treatments or consultations that never actually took place. This practice is unethical and illegal, undermining the trust between the chiropractor and the patient as well as violating legal and professional standards. Such actions can lead to significant legal repercussions, including fines, loss of licensure, and civil lawsuits.

Excessive billing is scrutinized by regulatory bodies to ensure that healthcare providers maintain ethical billing practices and uphold the integrity of their profession. By requiring accuracy in billing, the profession aims to protect patients from fraud and ensure that they are only billed for the services they actually received.
