WHAT DO I NEED FOR CE?
(Editor’s Note: Due to the vast amount of phone calls and questions regarding continuing education requirements, the ISCA will publish this every issue. Specific questions regarding licensure or CE’s should be directed to the Indiana Board of Chiropractic Examiners 317.234.2054.)

Medicare to issue a new ABN in 2008
Many volunteer positions available!
Submission from Dr. James Cox II, , D.C.
ACA has informed us that Medicare will issue a new ABN (Advanced Beneficiary Notice) in early 2008. Please be looking for it. It will address issues of Chronic vs. Maintenance care more specifically than the current one. Watch your listserv articles. We will forward it to you as soon as we have it. Once released we will have approximately 60 days to implement. This is not much time but we will be responsible. Also I will be replaced as Medicare rep. As soon as the approvals are in place we will forward the new reps contact information. I will remain as a contact and aid the new representative. We have found people in the association who will serve well in the role due to their experiences. Please feel free to contact me, James Cox II, in the future at cox.chiropractic@verizon.net anytime with questions.
January/February 2008
