Physical Therapy Billing

Running a successful physical therapy center means navigating complex revenue cycle challenges while providing exceptional patient care. Managing insurance verifications, minimizing claim denials, and ensuring accurate coding can be overwhelming for your staff. That’s where Scionis RCM Partnerss steps in. We specialize in RCM solutions tailored to the unique needs of physical therapy practices, empowering you to focus on your patients while we maximize your financial performance.

The Challenges Shaping Physical Therapy RCM in 2024

1. Insurance Verification: A Time-Consuming Task

The Challenge: Insurance verification is the cornerstone of successful billing. Without accurate verification, claim denials become a significant risk. Many physical therapy centers struggle with manually checking eligibility, which is slow and prone to errors.

Our Solution:

• Reddito integrates real-time insurance eligibility checks into your patient registration workflow.
• Before a patient’s first visit, our system verifies copays, deductibles, coverage limits, and prior authorization requirements.
• This proactive approach ensures that your patients have clear financial expectations and that your claims are accurate, reducing rejections by 35%.

2. Claim Denials: A Threat to Your Cash Flow

The Challenge: Every denied claim represents delayed revenue and additional administrative work. The top reasons for denials in physical therapy include coding errors, incomplete documentation, and failure to meet payer-specific guidelines.

Our Solution:

• Preventive Measures: Claims are reviewed for errors and compliance with payer rules before submission.
• Data Insights: We analyze past denial trends and implement changes to stop recurring issues.
• Follow-Up Expertise: Denied claims are promptly corrected and resubmitted, ensuring swift resolution.

Our clients see a 30% reduction in denial rates, which translates directly into faster reimbursements and improved cash flow.

3. Accurate Coding and Documentation: The Key to Maximizing Reimbursements

The Challenge: Physical therapy billing requires precise coding to reflect session types, duration, and modalities used. Coding errors or incomplete documentation can lead to reduced payments or rejected claims.

Our Solution:

• Automated Coding Systems: We use advanced tools to match treatments with the correct codes, ensuring accuracy.
• Regular Audits: Our team conducts thorough documentation reviews to ensure compliance and billable accuracy.
• Provider Training: We offer ongoing training to your staff, keeping them updated on new codes and payer requirements.

With a 98% first-pass acceptance rate, Reddito ensures you get paid the full value for every service you provide.

4. Managing Accounts Receivable (AR): A Persistent Challenge

The Challenge: Aging accounts receivable can drain your practice’s resources and disrupt operational efficiency. Delayed collections often result from insufficient follow-up with payers or patients.

Our Solution:

• Automated Follow-Ups: Our systems track overdue payments and send reminders to payers and patients.
• Flexible Payment Options: We make it easy for patients to pay their balances through installment plans and online portals.
• Daily AR Monitoring: By categorizing and prioritizing unpaid balances, we reduce aging AR and improve collection rates by 20%.

With Reddito, your cash flow remains steady, enabling you to invest more in your practice.

5. Staying Ahead of Regulatory Changes

The Challenge: Physical therapy practices face frequent updates in billing rules and compliance standards. Missing a single regulation change can lead to penalties and denied claims.

Our Solution:

• Regulatory Monitoring: We continuously track updates from CMS and private insurers.
• Process Updates: As rules change, we implement new workflows to keep your billing processes compliant.
• Staff Education: We offer training sessions to keep your team informed about the latest regulatory requirements.

This proactive approach protects your practice from costly compliance issues.
