Physical Therapy Billing Services
For Your Practice

Compare scope before choosing a billing company

Use the service descriptions above to prepare three questions for your next billing-company call:

• Responsibilities: Which tasks will the billing team handle, and which stay with your front desk or clinicians? Ask specifically about authorizations, missing documentation and older accounts receivable.
• Total cost: What is the fee based on, what costs extra, and what happens to fees on claims still outstanding when you leave? Start with our published pricing and cost assumptions, then request written terms for your practice.
• Handoff: Who owns each open task, what reports will you receive, and how will you retrieve your data if you switch?

Our 12-question PT billing company checklist provides a printable comparison sheet. Use the same questions for every company, including ePT Billing; this checklist is not a promise that every task is included.
