FAQ

Specific to your specialty. If it's not here, an RCM specialist will answer it directly.

The physical therapy denials we work most often are units exceed time documentation, plan of care not certified, and visit cap exceeded. Each one is categorized by root cause, prioritized by recoverable value and timely-filing risk, and fed back into prevention at the front desk and in coding.

A structured review of your physical therapy denials, A/R aging, coding patterns, and underpayments — findings are yours to keep, whether or not we work together.
