Physical Therapy Medical Billing Company
Physical therapy medical billing company specialists deal with an extremely wide range of patients who are dealing with anything from the natural stiffening that comes with age to recover from something as extreme as a stroke, accident, or major surgery. All of these are legitimate conditions needing treatment, but payers are often picky about physiotherapy, and their rules about what is and is not covered and under what circumstances can be impossible for medical staff to keep up with. Also, our billing specialists manage all aspects of the revenue cycle of physical therapists.
It’s Hard To Comply With Insurance Company’s Preferences
Physiotherapists are often delivering treatments prescribed by a doctor, so are not in a position to change the treatment to better comply with an insurance company’s preferences, again complicating the provider-payer relationship. On top of that, payers are looking to cut costs and the rules change constantly, making medical billing a huge headache for an in-office staff to deal with
Billing Challenges for Physical Therapy Practitioners
In our experience, these are some of the most common medical billing and coding issues that arise for physical therapy practices.
Front Office Scheduling Problems
As a referral-based practice, physiotherapists are frequently getting patients from another office that may not be in the same insurer’s network. The medical billing and coding process begins when the appointment is set and insurance coverage is determined. Without the latest software and certified coders handling it, keeping track of all that is next to impossible—and often results in improper coding.
Claim Denials
Denial or rejection of claims can result from minute errors as well as payers disagreeing that treatment is covered by their policy. If anything seems to be awry, the claim will be automatically rejected or denied and it becomes the problem of the provider to figure out how to code the claim to correctly communicate what was done so that they can be paid appropriately. Our physical therapy billing services reduce the chances of claim denials and improve profitability.
Coding Errors
Simple coding errors are a primary reason for many of the problems physical therapy practices have with billing. All medical fields have specialized codes, but the practices of physical therapy have a high number of variables and each one requires coding modifiers, making it important to have coders and billers who are experienced with the specific coding for physical therapy. So, physical therapy billing companies allow therapists to prevent CPT coding errors and streamline the revenue cycle.
