Physical Therapy
Because of their very nature, physical therapy services have frequently proven to be difficult to bill for medical reimbursement. These services cannot be claimed for reimbursement unless medically necessary. As a result, doctors are reluctant to provide some services that could prevent them from being paid for their medical services.
How can support for medical billing and coding help with reimbursement for physical therapy services?
Because of their focus on providing focused medical care and the somewhat ambiguous nature of specialty-specific billing and coding, healthcare providers may not always be successful in identifying ineligible cases, even with their preemptive scrutiny in determining eligibility for medical reimbursement.
The largest network of medical billers in the United States, Medicalbillersandcoders.com, is renowned for its precise screening process that determines whether particular services qualify for payment. Reimbursement revenue losses can only be minimised by means of an effective screening process.
