What Makes Occupational Therapy Billing Uniquely Challenging

Billing and coding for occupational therapy isn't straightforward. You face obstacles that general medical billing companies often mishandle.

Here's what complicates OT reimbursement:

Complex CPT Codes

Complex CPT codes spanning diverse treatment modalities

Constant Updates

Constant updates to ICD-10 and HCPCS requirements

Documentation Standards

Strict Medicare and Medicaid documentation standards

Pre-Authorization

Pre-authorization hurdles for specific procedures

Multiple Payers

Multiple payer requirements across commercial insurers

Medical Necessity

Medical necessity justification for extended treatments

Missing a single modifier can trigger claim denials. Inadequate documentation delays payments for weeks. Insurance verification errors create billing nightmares months later.

The average OT practice loses 20-30% of potential revenue to preventable billing mistakes. That's money you've already earned through patient care—but never collected.

Our Complete Occupational Therapy Billing Process

We handle every step of your medical billing workflow. No gaps. No dropped balls. Just seamless claims submission and faster payments.

Billing Process Management
01

Patient Registration and Insurance Verification

We verify coverage before the first appointment. Our team confirms:

  • Active insurance policies and eligibility
  • Copayment and deductible amounts
  • Pre-authorization requirements
  • Coverage limits for OT services
  • Secondary insurance coordination

This upfront work prevents claim rejections later.

02

Accurate Medical Coding

Our AAPC-certified coders assign precise codes for every service. We stay current with:

  • CPT updates from the American Medical Association
  • ICD-10 coding for diagnoses
  • E/M codes for evaluation services
  • Proper modifier usage
  • HCPCS codes for supplies and equipment

Coding accuracy directly impacts your clean claim rate.

03

Claims Submission and Tracking

We submit claims electronically through secure EDI systems. Every claim gets tracked until payment arrives. Our process includes:

  • Daily claim submissions to all payers
  • Real-time status monitoring
  • Immediate correction of rejected claims
  • Follow-up on pending claims
  • Detailed tracking reports

Average turnaround time? Just 3-5 days for most payers.

04

Denial Management and Appeals

Denials don't scare us—they're opportunities for recovery. We:

  • Analyze every claim rejection for root causes
  • Correct errors and resubmit within 24 hours
  • File formal appeals with supporting documentation
  • Track denial patterns to prevent future issues
  • Maintain a 95% successful appeal rate

Our aggressive approach recovers thousands in previously denied payments.

05

Payment Posting and Reconciliation

We post every payment accurately in your system. This includes:

  • Insurance payments and adjustments
  • Patient payments and copays
  • EOB review and analysis
  • Reconciliation with submitted charges
  • Identification of underpayments

You'll always know exactly where your money is.

06

Accounts Receivable Management

We don't let unpaid claims age. Our A/R team:

  • Contacts payers on claims over 30 days
  • Sends patient statements regularly
  • Handles payment arrangements
  • Reduces your AR days by 40-50%
  • Provides weekly aging reports
