Ensuring Accuracy in OT Billing Processes

Medical advancements have improved OT services, but they have also introduced complex billing challenges. Proper documentation and coding are critical to securing accurate reimbursement. Misapplied OT billing codes or missing claims forms can result in lost revenue. A dedicated billing team minimizes errors, handles claims denial efficiently, and ensures timely payment for your services.

Tracking Time-Based Services

OT billing codes need to accurately indicate time spent during each session, either 30 minutes or 15 minutes, to get the right payment. Knowing the 8-minute rule is also important for proper procedure codes application.
Effective OT billing procedures not only maintain your revenue stream smooth but also enable occupational therapists to concentrate on providing quality patient care. Our staff takes the load off your shoulders and sees that accurate documentation, correct coding, and maximum reimbursement for your services are achieved.

High-Stakes Claims in OT Billing

OT billing needs to be accurate since every claim has substantial monetary value. As opposed to high-volume low-dollar general medical practices, occupational therapy claims are not as numerous but have a profound effect on revenues. One unpaid or improperly processed claim can bring about financial setbacks, so accuracy and timely submission are critical for the sustenance of cash flow.

Complex Procedures Require Specialized OT Billing Codes

OT billing requires precise coding because of the intricacy of treatments. Correct application of OT billing codes guarantees complete reimbursement for services. Denials, delays, or underpayments resulting from incorrect coding or omitted modifiers have a negative impact on a practice’s revenue. Skilled coders know how to properly document and submit claims to prevent such problems.

Expert OT Billing Services with Advanced Coding Knowledge

Our billing team specializes in OT billing codes and ensures accurate claims submission for occupational therapy services. Proper documentation, coding, and compliance help maximize reimbursement and reduce claim denials. Below are some commonly used CPT codes in OT procedures that our team expertly handles:

CPT 97110 – Therapeutic exercises aimed at improving strength, flexibility, and range of motion.
CPT 97112 – Neuromuscular re-education to restore movement, balance, and coordination.
CPT 97530 – Therapeutic activities focusing on functional performance and movement.
CPT 97535 – Self-care and home management training, including meal preparation and safety procedures.
CPT 97750 – Physical performance tests to assess patient progress.
CPT 96125 – Standardized cognitive performance testing.
CPT 97164 – Evaluation codes for follow-up assessments to track progress.

Each billing code must be accurately assigned with the correct modifiers to reflect the time spent, treatment complexity, and procedure codes used. This helps minimize claims denial and ensures the practice receives full payment for provided services.
