Billing Audit of your Practice

It is a good practice to do an audit of your Practice’s billing process to see what goals can be set and if there is a scope for improvement. Past denials are a way to learn the mistakes made so that you can avoid them in the future.

Challenges in medical billing for physical therapy

An insurance provider pays for the sessions when the patient’s medical coverage meets the required criteria. But insurance providers have stringent measures for processing the claims and they determine whether the treatment is necessary or not. They can even delay or reject the claims due to minor technicalities. It is very important to submit the claims correctly with the right physical therapy CPT codes.

The eight-minute rule - Physical therapy treatments are billed according to the length of time and number of units. Services lasting for 8 minutes are considered as 1 unit and need to be billed accordingly.

One-on-one Vs group sessions - In physical therapy, one-on-one sessions and group sessions need to be billed separately. Failing to do so can result in claim rejections.

Coding errors – Errors in coding are the most common mistakes that can be made in the billing process, and this demands attention to avoid denials.

Tracking and analyzing – We often lose track on the ongoing claims, especially when a lot of claims are processed at once. It's important to keep a track of the claims and analyze their status to avoid processing delays.
