HOW TO WRITE SOAP NOTES 

IF you are using all 4 forms (Symptoms, Exam, Diagnosis, Treatment Plan) then you may 

significantly abbreviate your DAILY SOAP notes using the legal doctrine called “Incorporation 

by Reference.”   

S:  Symptoms Form from 2/4/2017 O:  Exam Forms from 2/4/2017 to 2/6/2017 A:  Diagnosis Form dated 2/6/2017 P:  Treatment Plan dated 2/6/2017                  ‐‐‐or‐‐‐ 2/7/2017  See SOAP notes done 2/4/17 to 2/6/17  You may also use your daily SOAP notes to add in the word “because” 3 times to explain WHY 

you are doing what you are doing.   

Example:  I referred this patient to neuropsychologist today because she still has  

    concussion symptoms after more than 30 days since the accident, they are 

    not resolving on their own and I want a specialist to examine this patient’s  

    brain concussion. 

Example:  I ordered a video fluoroscopy today because my plain film stress x‐rays  

    revealed joint laxity that can only be caused by torn neck ligaments.  I can  

    only see 4‐8 lax ligaments on plain films and fluoroscopy can see 22   

    ligaments and I want to see if there are any more torn neck ligaments.   

Example:  I ordered an MRI today of the cervical spine because the patient has  

    constant radiculopathy (24 hours a day) in her left upper extremity and  

    that sign frequently means there is a herniated disk pressing on a nerve  

    root. 

Example:  I ordered a video fluoroscopy today because the patient’s radiculopathy is  

    intermittent (comes and goes) and that sign often indicates torn neck  

    ligaments.  Only when the hypermobile joint slides and bone smashes into  

    the nerve root does this patient have short‐lasting numbness and tingling.  

    Video fluoroscopy is the best test to visualize all 22 cervical ligaments and I 

    ordered this test because I believe this mechanism is the cause of the  

    patient’s intermittent nerve radiculopathy in her arm.

Time spent reviewing x-ray reports, MRI reports, PCP records, ambulance records, E.R. records if done face to face with the patient (good time to explain to patient what is wrong with him/her) 120 Day Guidelines Chiropractic treatment works quickly and is very effective. If you have not returned the patient to being 100% pain free (or as good as before the accident) by 120 days, get some help. Let some other doctors have a chance to help the patient. Bring in neuropsychologist, orthopedic surgeon, neurosurgeon, Prolotherapy doctor, pain management doctor if you have not already done so. About one-third of car accident patients get 100% well from chiropractic treatment only. Two-thirds do not and that is mostly because they have torn ligaments in their spine and/or torn ligaments or tendons in their extremities. Brain concussions also tend to linger for months or years especially if the patient has the three known symptoms that are early predictors of long-term post-concussion syndrome: (1) anxiety; (2) noise sensitivity; and (3) trouble thinking. Chiropractors can predict very quickly which patients will heal in 120 days and which patients will not. Stress x-ray films showing NO torn ligaments are likely to heal within 120 days after a car accident. Patients with NO concussion symptoms, NO PTSD symptoms and NO anxiety in the first two weeks are likely to heal within 120 days. When you find torn spine or extremity ligaments OR symptoms of concussion/PTSD/Sleep you need to bring in the team of doctors immediately to help the patient.

Collecting Your Professional Fees From All Patients (Including PI Patients) The Traditional Medical Lien is no longer a reasonable way for doctors to collect their professional fees from patients involved in personal injury cases. The modern way is to use the Medical Guarantee Lien. The Medical Guarantee Lien explicitly states that the patient is to either pay the doctor at the time services are rendered or is to make regular payments toward the balance on the account. Use the patient's health insurance and/or Medical Payments/PIP coverage to collect your professional fees where such coverage exists. If there is no insurance available, use the following scripts to collect your professional fees.

Doctor (or Assistant): Bob, you do not have any health or car insurance that will help you pay your bill at our office. Would you rather settle your account each time you come in or once a week on Friday? Patient: Once a week on Friday is fine. Doctor (or Assistant): How would you like to take car of that, cash, check, or charge? Patient: Credit card. Doctor (or Assistant): OK, then every Friday we will settle your account and zero out your balance every Friday.

(If the patient asks "How much will it cost?") Doctor (or Assistant): It will be about $500-$600 a week for the first month, $300-$400 a week for the second month, and $100-200 a week for the third month (whatever your schedule & fees dictate). Patient: OK, that will be fine. Doctor (or Assistant): How would you like to take car of that, cash, check, or charge? Patient: Check. Doctor (or Assistant): OK, then every Friday we will settle your account and zero out your balance every Friday with your check.

(If the patient says, "I can't afford that much.") Doctor (or Assistant): Bob, how often do you get paid? Patient: On the first and the fifteenth. Doctor (or Assistant): Bob, out of each paycheck you get on the first and fifteenth, how much could you afford to pay toward your balance so that your family doesn't go without food, clothing, or shelter? (do not break the silence, wait for the patient to answer.) Patient: $50 Doctor (or Assistant): OK, then we will collect $50 from you on the first and fifteenth of each month until your balance is paid off. Is that OK with you? Patient: Yes

(What if some attorney doesn't want you to collect money from the patient?) Doctor (or Assistant): Mr. Attorney, are you familiar with the legal presumption of reasonableness of the medical bills that is created when the patient has paid the bill? Attorney: Yes (he/she won't know this or they would have told you to collect in the first place.) Doctor (or Assistant): OK, then when you are trying to settle the case, you can use this legal presumption to argue when the insurance company claims my bills are not reasonable and necessary. That will help you settle the case, right? Attorney: Yes Doctor (or Assistant): OK, then. Are there any other questions today?

(What if the attorney says, "No, I'm not familiar with the presumption of reasonableness.) Doctor (or Assistant): Well, if the medical bills have been paid by either the patient or the patient's insurance company, someone has already looked at the medical bills and judged them to be reasonable before they paid them. This creates a legal presumption that they are reasonable. You don't really want me to be ambushed on the witness stand with the question, "Doctor, you're not here to tell the truth today, you'll say anything so this plaintiff wins this case so you can get paid, isn't that true, doctor?" If they ask me that, I will simply say, "I am here to tell the whole truth because I have been paid in full for my professional services and I am just here to answer your questions today."

SCRIPT FOR SUBSTITUTING OUT AN ATTORNEY _________, I have determined that I cannot work with your attorney, not that your attorney has done anything wrong, we just have a difference of business philosophies. I hate to put you in this position today, but you are going to have to choose between your lawyer and me. If you choose me, I have several attorneys that I know and trust and that I would use if I were in a car accident myself. If you choose your attorney, there are no hard feelings on my part. Your attorney will send you to another chiropractor and that chiropractor will be the one to put their hands on you, adjust you, massage you and adjust your neck. What would you like to do? (Answer: I choose you, doc.) OK, then here are the business cards of a 3 good attorneys. The first one is the one I would use myself if I was in an accident. If you don’t like him (or her), call either of the other two because they are also excellent. And don’t worry, the new attorney will take care of talking to your old attorney for you so you don’t even have to talk to your old attorney at all. Give him/her a call this week and let me know after you have met with him/her. (Answer: I choose my attorney.) OK, there are no hard feelings of course. Thank you for letting me take care of you for this short time and if you ever have any questions, please feel free to call me personally. (stand up, shake hands) I wish you all the best. Be sure to call your attorney to get the name of another chiropractor. (Make a note in the patient’s chart that they will be calling their attorney to get a new chiropractor and that the patient self-dismissed from your care on that date.)

California Auto Insurance

Medical Payments Coverage - This is very important to have. It pays your doctor bills if you are in an accident even if the accident was your fault. It also pays your doctor bills for you, your spouse or your children if they are riding in another car or get hit by a car riding a bike, riding a skateboard or even walking on the sidewalk or in a crosswalk. It will pay 100% for any doctor, hospital, or ambulance with no deductible up to the limits you choose. I recommend buying the highest your company sells because this coverage is very inexpensive. You can purchase $1,000, $2,000, $5,000, $10,000, $25,000 and even $100,000 from some companies. BEWARE: Some companies trick you into buying an “Excess” Medical Payments policy for a few dollars less. It is not worth it and they sometimes sneak in a $2000 deductible, too. Don’t buy “Excess” type or one with a deductible.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM) Coverage - This is extremely important coverage for you that is also very inexpensive. What if you are hit by someone without insurance or someone who has only the minimum $15,000 policy and you spend just one day in the emergency room? Your hospital bill alone could be $50,000 or more. Your medical bills after the hospital could be $100,000 or more. UM pays not only your medical and hospital bills but also pays you for pain and suffering and reimburses you for the income you lost from missing work. Just like Medical Payments, it covers you, your spouse and your children when riding in anyone’s car or even if one of them is hit by a car when riding a bike, skateboard or walking in the crosswalk. I recommend $250,000 of UM coverage because it is very inexpensive to protect yourself and your family.

Disability - This typically pays you approximately $250 a week if you are on disability after an accident up to a maximum of $15,000. The coverage costs about $10 a year per driver (less than a dollar a month.)

Collision - This coverage pays to repair your car even if you caused the accident. The premium is based on the value of your car. There are no “minimum” or “limits” but premiums differ based on the deductible you choose. I recommend a higher deductible ($1,000 or more) because a higher deductible can save you $100 or $200 a year (so you can pay for better Medical Payments and UM.)

Comprehensive - This will pay for damage to your car by vandalism such as stealing your radio, damage by fire, wind, hail, flood, hitting an animal, or if someone steals your whole car.

Liability - This pays for the other driver’s car and injuries if you cause an accident. This coverage protects your assets if you cause an accident so buy at least $250,000.

Emergency Road Service – Pays for a tow truck and this coverage is only a few dollars a year.

Car Rental Expense - This very inexpensive coverage will pay for a rental car for you while your car is being repaired, even if the accident was your fault. It is only a few dollars a year.
