When it comes to the number of patients your PTs can see in a day, you might think more is more. After all, more patients should generate more billable services—and thus, more payments. But that’s not always the case. In fact, as you balance productivity goals with payer policies, sometimes enough is too much.
During this session, documentation and compliance expert John Wallace, PT, MS, will share the most important rules and guidelines for navigating the productivity vs. payment-per-visit dilemma. Attendees will learn to optimize treatment schedules without running afoul of their payers. This includes an in-depth review of the two basic minute rules (Medicare and CPT) and their numerous variants; instructions for capitalizing on all one-on-one time (including assessment and management time); and recommendations for (legally) using and billing for care extenders.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to
Recognize and prepare for the most common audit types.
Apply the minute rules for billing timed CPT codes correctly.
