The next box in the column is for the Adjustment Technique Indicators (figure 6). In each practice the doctor decides what each symbol means. This information is for in-office reference only. It purposely does not generate any text in the SOAP notes or narratives in order to avoid potential issues with claims examiners and auditors.
Figure 6
Here are some suggestions for using the Technique Indicators. However, they can be used to mean anything that is practical for the practice.
•
The hand symbol indicates an
adjustment or manipulation by hand.
•
This symbol could be used to
identify either Activator Technique or Torque Release Technique
•
DV originally referred to
diversified technique.
•
TP initially meant Thompson
terminal point technique.
•
The T1, T2, T3 and T4 indicators
are designated by the doctor to mean any technique for which there is no
specific symbol.
