Medical Billing for Physical Therapists: Revive, Restore, & Rebuild Your Billing Department to Strengthen Those Financial Gains
Physical therapists are driven by their desire to help others – it’s what got you into this business, and it’s what motivates you to power through those long and often busy days. The more time you get to spend with your clients, the more effective you can be at treating their injuries and helping them thrive in life.
The problem most physical therapists run into is that they don’t get to spend enough time with their clients. In fact, they spend the majority of their time, energy, and resources on managing their practice – filling out paperwork, processing payments, configuring medical codes, and resolving denied claims.
We get it – these are things that need to be done if you want your practice to survive. Unfortunately, it’s taking you away from what matters most – your clients. This is the catch-22 most physical therapists find themselves in, but don’t worry – we’ve helped others overcome it, and we can do the same for you, too!
Medical Billing: Are These Common Challenges Bringing You Down?
Starting a physical therapy practice isn’t easy. The first few months (and even years) are spent trying to limit overhead, which often means doing a lot of the administrative work yourself. While this makes sense at first, it’s not a sustainable way to run your business, and the consequences will quickly catch up to you.
Claims getting rejected or denied due to small, sometimes unclear errors. Regulatory standards and rules constantly changing. Claims taking too long to process. Bills pile up, while reimbursements dissipate – resulting in cash flow problems that put your physical therapy practice at risk. Billing can be a cruel place!
So, what can you do about it? Well, you’re often left with four options:
- You can hire an in-house team, but it takes a lot of time, energy, effort, money, and resources to hire, onboard, and train them.
- You can hire freelancers, but they’re often unreliable and don’t always take their work seriously – resulting in frequent errors.
- You can automate the process with software, but custom software is a huge investment most PTs don’t have the budget for.
- You can hire a medical billing company, but most companies only chase larger claims and often leave smaller claims to rot.
At Millenium Medical Billing, our clients can rest easy knowing that we’re chasing all claims – no matter how big or small they are. Unlike other medical billing companies, we’re commission-based and only get paid for what we recover – not chasing small claims hurts us just as much as it hurts your practice!
