Physical Therapy billing

Physical therapy billing that respects the unit — and the documentation behind it.

Physical therapy revenue depends on details that are easy to lose between the treatment room and the claim: timed services, units, plan-of-care dates and payer-specific visit limits. Our billing team keeps those details visible in the workflow.

Documentation context

What we watch

The details that decide whether a physical therapy claim gets paid.

Billing rules are payer-specific and change. We review the documentation available to us, verify the current requirement for the payer and plan, and escalate ambiguity rather than applying a universal rule.

Timed services and units

Timed treatment codes require the documentation and unit calculation to agree. We review what is documented and apply the payer's current unit rules, escalating unclear documentation rather than guessing.

Review timed service documentation before claim release
Check unit calculations against the payer policy
Flag documentation gaps for the treating provider

Plan of care and recertification

The plan of care, certification dates and recertification requirements affect whether services are billable. We track the dates that are visible to billing and flag claims that reference an expired or incomplete plan.

Visit limits and authorization

Visit caps, authorization units and effective dates differ by payer. We record what was approved and used, and confirm whether a new authorization is required before the next visit.

Eligibility and benefits

Coverage, deductible, coinsurance and therapy-specific benefit limits are verified before the visit where the workflow allows. The patient's responsibility should be clear before treatment, not after a denial.

Claims, denials and A/R

Claims are reviewed for service, unit and documentation alignment. Denials are categorized by reason, appealed where supported and trended so the practice can correct scheduling and documentation issues.

Payer-specific requirements

Payer policies differ and change. We verify the current requirement for the specific payer and plan rather than applying a generic therapy rule to every claim.

FAQs

Physical Therapy billing questions

Yes. We track authorization and visit-limit information that is available to the billing team and flag when the next visit may require a new authorization. Final coverage decisions remain payer-specific.

We review the documentation available to billing against the payer's unit rules and route unclear documentation back to the practice rather than inventing a unit.

We can track certification and recertification dates that affect billing and flag missing or expired documentation. Clinical certification remains with the treating provider.
