How does the billing process work?
Billing for physical therapy services is similar to what happens at your doctor’s office. When you are seen for treatment the following occurs: • The physical therapist bills your insurance company, Worker’s Comp, or charges you based on CPT (Common Procedure Terminology) codes. • Those codes are transferred to a billing form that is either mailed or electronically communicated to the payer. • The payer processes this information and makes payments according to an agreed upon fee schedule. • An EOB (Explanation of Benefits) is generated and sent to the patient and the physical therapy clinic with a check for payment and a balance due by the patient. • The patient is expected to make the payment on the balance if any. It is important to understand that there are many small steps (beyond the outline provided above) within the process. Exceptions are common to the above example as well. At any time along the way, information may be missing, mis-communicated, or misunderstood.
If you choose a yearly payment plan, you will be charged on your card, or sent an invoice on your account aniversary date. If you choose monthly billing, it will be done by periodic credit card deduction. Each month we will deduct the agreed-upon sum for our services from the credit card you choose. If you pay more than $50.00/mo for services, you can request invoice billing. Invoices will be sent by e-mail and are due upon receipt. Click here to view our entire Billing Policy.
