Linda K. Christy, D.C.
Dr. Christy has 20 years of experience in Chiropractic, and has spent those years perfecting her skills as a Chiropractic Physician, clinician, diagnostician, teacher, and mentor. Dr. Christy is recognized nationally as the most knowledgeable Provider-Auditor of health care records.
Dr. Christy has conducted exhaustive audits on more than 10,000 chiropractic files. She has conducted one-on-one audits on services performed by more than 100 chiropractors, MDs, and DOs.
In addition to being thorough, Dr. Christy’s audits are frequently described as the most beneficial educational experience those providers audited have ever received. She leaves no-stone-unturned. In fact, due to her thoroughness, she has been referred to as “a colonoscopy in high-heels.”
Dr. Christy is the auditor to whom many have turned for assistance when they found themselves under investigation by the FBI. She was instrumental in developing an auditing process that was dubbed by Legislators, “A model Health Care Compliance Program for all providers, irrespective of discipline.”
Due to her vast knowledge, her attention-to-detail, and mercurial ability to grasp concepts, she is ideal in negotiating with investigators, providers, insurance adjusters, and patients to resolve the most complex issues. Frequently, parties find that she has a better grasp of the issues than the parties to the negotiation.
She is extremely knowledgeable in documentation, billing, coding, and reimbursement practices. Additionally, she has a vast knowledge of numerous health care disciplines and techniques.
Dr. Christy has been instrumental in not only assisting providers under criminal investigation to maintain their practices, but has also served as an integral member in helping providers explode their practices with more thorough documentation, expansion of services, etc.
Dr. Christy is the Auditor par excellence!
