Rick Gawenda of Gawenda Seminars will be presenting:
Scheduling, CPT Coding, Billing, and Productivity: How They All Interrelate for Outpatient Therapy
Description: How you schedule your patients, the insurance your patient has, the type of condition the patient has that requires physical therapy, and the ability to use or not use support personnel all have an impact on the CPT codes you can bill for that patient visit, the number of units you can bill in a day, and, ultimately, your productivity and the financial success of your organization. In this session, attendees will learn various ways they can schedule their patients; including double booking and overlapping regardless of the insurance carrier; how to use support personnel, if allowed, to provide interventions under the direction and supervision of the physical therapist; how to bill correctly based on the time spent with the patient providing skilled physical therapy interventions; and how this impacts productivity and, ultimately, the financial success of the organization. The speaker will discuss metrics PTs should be tracking on a weekly or monthly basis in their organization to ensure its financial success and explain how more units per visit may not always mean more money per visit.
Objectives
· Differentiate ways of scheduling patients and discuss how this impacts coding, billing, and productivity.
· Define “requires one-on-one patient contact” and explain how that impacts billing and productivity.
· Assess your current process of scheduling, billing, and productivity and compare it to what was taught in the session.
· Identify what financial data to analyze (units, visits, evaluations, etc) and interpret this data to determine the financial success or failure of your practice/organization.
