Physical Therapy Revenue Cycle Management

AI-powered Revenue Intelligence for Physical Therapy practices—built to increase reimbursement, reduce denials, strengthen cash flow, and give leadership real-time executive visibility.

We Understand the Business of Physical Therapy

Successful PT billing is much more than claim submission. It requires deep operational knowledge of therapy workflows, payer rules, and reimbursement realities.

  • Prior authorization management
  • Authorization renewals
  • Visit tracking
  • Benefit maximum tracking
  • Therapy visit limits
  • CAP limits (where applicable)
  • Verification of Benefits (VOB)
  • Therapy modifiers (GP, KX, CQ, CO where applicable)
  • Medicare therapy billing
  • Commercial payer requirements
  • Documentation requirements
  • Recertifications
  • Medical necessity reviews
  • Aging Accounts Receivable
  • Payer-specific reimbursement rules
  • Modifier & revenue optimization

Our goal isn't simply to submit claims. Our goal is to maximize appropriate reimbursement while maintaining compliance and reducing administrative burden.

Proactive Authorization & Benefit Management

PT revenue cycle success requires continuous monitoring—not reactive follow-up after denials arrive.

  • Continuous authorization monitoring
  • Tracking remaining visits
  • Monitoring benefit maximums
  • Applying for authorization renewals before visits expire
  • Preventing denials instead of reacting to them

Many Physical Therapy practices lose revenue because authorization renewals are not obtained before approved visits or payer benefit maximums are exhausted.

Our team proactively monitors these throughout treatment to help prevent avoidable denials before they occur—one of the most common causes of lost revenue in Physical Therapy.

Authorizations + VOB Included

Unlike many billing companies that charge separately for Verification of Benefits (VOB) and authorization requests, these services are included as part of our overall Revenue Cycle Management engagement.

We believe they are core components of effective revenue cycle management—not optional add-on services.
