Common Questions

What is the most common reason for a Chiropractic exclusion?
The most common reason for a Chiropractic exclusion is Managed Care Default (1,074 cases, 61% of the category), followed by License Revocation or Suspension (232). That reflects the regulatory pathway most often used against this provider type, not necessarily the most severe conduct.
Is Chiropractic's exclusion volume above or below average?
Yes. Chiropractic sits in the higher-volume half of LEIE provider-type categories, ranked #12 of 137 by exclusion count. A higher share mainly reflects how many chiropractic providers bill federal programs and how closely those claims get audited, it is not a direct measure of misconduct prevalence within the category.
