Physical therapy billing has unique challenges — cap violations, therapy thresholds, and payer-specific rules. We know how to maximize your PT reimbursements while keeping you compliant.
Medicare therapy caps, complex modality coding, and payer-specific requirements make PT billing one of the most challenging specialties.
The KX modifier, therapy caps, and hard cap exceptions require precise attention. Billing errors trigger audits and denials.
PT codes (97010-97799) are complex. Modalities, therapeutic procedures, and neuromuscular re-education all have specific requirements.
Progress notes, plan of care, and timed code documentation must be precise. Incomplete records mean denied claims.
Timed codes require specific documentation of minutes. Billing 8 units when you only treated for 30 minutes triggers denials and audits.
Proving medical necessity for extended therapy episodes requires robust documentation and clear functional goals.
Maintaining PT-specific credentials and payer relationships requires dedicated attention and expertise.
