The significance of our logo and your bottom line

When we started Custom ChiroSolutions one of the many discussions was on a company logo design. What sort of image could convey what we do and represent our product? After weeks of throwing out ideas we landed on how a fingerprint was perfect for the job. A fingerprint is specific to you and only you. It is the total opposite of anything that is mass produced or made for anyone other than you.

The same goes for how your practice runs and the documentation it produces. To operate your clinic with a basic set of macros that are not customized to exactly what you do or follow another office’s fee schedule without considering your own overhead can be a disaster. This is not just about an audit; you can lose precious time by having a faulty process that leads you to take excessive steps that are extraneous to creating proper documentation.

Graduate of Palmer College

John Davila, D.C., FICC, received his degree in 1994 from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Upon graduation he established three successful practices in the Myrtle Beach, S.C., area which he operated for 13 years.

Since 2000, Dr. Davila has been training doctors and staff on the topics of federal and state level insurance compliance. He has consulted for Axis Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina, American Specialty Health Network, Colonial Life, Companion Property and Casualty, Chiropractic Network of the Carolinas, and Palmetto GBA.

In 2001, Dr. Davila re-wrote the Medicare policy for chiropractic reimbursement for Palmetto GBA and served on their Physician Carrier Advisory Committee.

Dr. Davila launched Custom ChiroSolutions, a business offering chiropractors individualized service and training on the same topics he has become known as a profession expert on, in 2011.

Empowerment over subject matter

Dr. Davila is a frequent seminar presenter on the topics of …

  • Navigating Medicare
  • Documentation that satisfies medical necessity
  • Coding that complies with the “direct therapeutic relationship” standard
  • Implementing a practice compliance program
  • Performing internal audits to reduce risk and manage the possibility of post-payment audits
  • Complying with the Federal “Anti-Kick Back Statute” as it relates to advertising and marketing a chiropractic practice

The up-close familiarity of training and working with review nurses and policy-makers aided Dr. Davila to create insight that only a limited number of speakers can draw upon to help doctors implement these complex regulations. He is an expert in documentation and medical necessity, and considered a foremost authority on compliance issues as they relate to chiropractic practice. He is able to make this happen with a mix of true stories, referenced government policies and a sense of humor that will bring attendees a feeling of empowerment over the subject matter instead of fear.

Achievements and service

Dr. Davila was an active member of the South Carolina Chiropractic Association, serving as its president, and was recognized as its Chiropractor of the Year in 2000, 2001 and 2002, making him the second ever to win the association’s award three years in a row. He is a lifetime member of the International Chiropractors Association, member of the American Chiropractic Association, and since 2017, serves as a member of MedPro Group’s Chiropractic Advisory Board. Dr. Davila continues to give back through his involvement with several chiropractic colleges by working with students, faculty, and administration to improve their education on compliance efforts in their classrooms and clinics.

In 2021, Dr. Davila was recognized as a Fellow of the International College of Chiropractors, Inc., for his contributions towards the advancement of the chiropractic profession.
