It’s Episode 100 and we are celebrating the journey with you, our audience. There were prizes and opportunities throughout the session. Plus, since all the questions were submitted anonymously the entire audience was in the drawing for today’s “mugging.” One person asked why their electronic signatures were being “dinged” as inappropriate by an auditor. Ms Digby expounds on three reasons that might be happening. She referenced this document from CMS. Next, a listener wondered whether a Chiropractor could perform, bill and order PT from a Physical Therapist. We’ve shared the entire LIVE video here. Congratulations to today’s winner, Maria from West Texas.

Dial in for the next Episode on October 26th beginning at 10:10 am Eastern (7:10 am Pacific).
