Physical Therapy Billing Services
Physical therapy services, owing to their inherent nature, have often been found to be elusive while billing for medical reimbursement. Unless medically deemed fit, these services cannot be billed for reimbursement. Consequently, physicians are apprehensive of undertaking certain services that might deprive them of reimbursement for medical services.
How do medical billing and coding support aid in Physical Therapy reimbursement?
Despite the healthcare providers’ preemptive scrutiny in determining eligibility for medical reimbursement, they may not always be successful in segregating ineligible cases due to their preoccupation with focused medical care as well as somewhat uncertain nature of this specialty-specific billing and coding.
Here’s where our Billing and Coding team comes in handy. We are known for accurate screening for deciding the eligibility of certain services for reimbursement. Such an efficient screening is indispensable for mitigating the adverse impact on revenues from reimbursement. Laying a firm foundation for a comprehensive and efficient billing reimbursement solution, our Physical Therapy Billing Specialists establish a well-phrased system for an efficient claim submission and realization.
Value-Added Process to Optimize Reimbursement
Our Physical Therapy Billing and coding solutions include the following process:
- Setting up HIPAA compliant patient privacy reporting on any EMR software of your choice. Coupled with the compliant reporting, EMR system also ensures accurate charge-capture, which is crucial to billing and coding. Compliant EMR system – which runs on latest technology platforms – apart from ensuring operational efficiency, could also earn incentives for adhering to an accepted level of compliance.
- Having a compliant patient medical record at their disposal, our billing experts apply appropriate CPT codes for corresponding services. Ingenuity in applying diverse codes: CPT code 97110 for therapeutic procedure in one or more areas to develop strength and endurance, range of motion and flexibility; CPT code 97112 for neuromuscular re-education of movement, balance, coordination, kinesthetic sense, posture, and/or proprioception for sitting and or standing activities; CPT code 97116 for gait training including stair climbing; CPT code 97124 for massage, including stroking, compression, and percussion; CPT code 97140 for manual therapy techniques comprising mobilization/manipulation; CPT code 97150 for therapeutic procedure on group of 2 or more individuals. Application of suitable modifiers: modifier GP for service rendered by a therapist, and modifier 59 for distinct procedural service. Such an ingenious coding system is precursor to an efficient claim submission devoid of any external audit issues
- Finally, having submitted claims for reimbursement, our billing professionals set up a follow-up system for expediting reimbursement of medical bills.
