🚨 NEW SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT for PT, OT & Speech Practices 🚨

As many of you know, I’m passionate about teaching providers how to understand billing, improve compliance, and take control of their revenue cycle. 💡

But I also know the reality…

When you’re a solo provider or running a small practice, trying to do EVERYTHING yourself can become overwhelming. Between patient care, documentation, scheduling, billing, eligibility checks, and insurance authorizations — it’s a LOT.

And unfortunately, eligibility verification and authorizations are not optional if you want to get paid properly and avoid costly mistakes.

That’s why we’re officially offering a NEW support service specifically designed for PT, OT, and Speech practices:
✅ Insurance Eligibility Verification
✅ Authorization Management
✅ PT/OT/ST-Specific Insurance Workflow Support

This service was created BY a physical therapist — me, The PT Billing Coach — because I know firsthand that rehab therapy practices have unique authorization requirements, functional outcome expectations, visit limitations, and payer-specific rules that generic virtual assistants often miss.

Our goal is to help reduce the administrative burden while improving accuracy and workflow efficiency so you and your staff can focus more on patient care. 🌱

Whether you’re:
✔️ A solo provider
✔️ A startup clinic
✔️ A growing private practice
✔️ Or simply tired of spending hours on hold with insurance companies…

We’re here to help.

📩 Send me a direct message if you’d like more information, package details, or pricing options for your practice.

Most providers were never taught billing.

Yet somehow they’re expected to understand:
❌ Denials
❌ EOBs
❌ Corrected claims
❌ Reprocessing
❌ Contracts
❌ Metrics
❌ Cash flow
❌ Front desk systems
❌ Clearinghouse errors

…while also treating patients and running a business.

That’s not a personal failure.
That’s a missing skill set.

After 20+ years of billing for our own PT practices, I created a coaching program that teaches clinic owners and teams the business side of healthcare in a practical, real-world way.

Not just “how to submit claims.”

But how to actually understand:
✔ Why claims deny
✔ How to fix revenue leaks
✔ How to read payer behavior
✔ How to improve cash flow
✔ How to understand your numbers
✔ How to build stronger operational systems
✔ And how to run your clinic with more clarity and confidence

This program is specifically designed for outpatient healthcare business owners who want to better understand the financial side of their practice and operate their clinic like an entrepreneur — not just a provider.

This is for owners who are ready to become more intentional, more informed, and more proactive in understanding how their business actually runs.

Because the reality is:
The cost of not understanding your billing is usually far greater than learning it.

✔ Front desk team members are welcome to join
✔ Payment plans available through Affirm & Klarna
✔ Designed specifically for healthcare practice owners and teams

If you’re serious about strengthening the operational and financial side of your clinic and want to learn more…

APTA Advocacy & Updates


Tell the Senate to Support Medicare Fee Schedule Reform Now

Urge your senators to establish a permanent, annual update to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule that’s tied to inflation through a percentage of the Medicare Economic Index. This is a critical first step toward long-term stability for providers and better access to care for Medicare beneficiaries.

I don’t know if you have noticed how many medical offices and hospitals are closing in our area?

This is the primary reason.

Please follow this link from the American Physical Therapy Association to let our Senators know to act immediately.

It is a very simple and easy process.

Click the link (It is a safe and secure link) or copy and paste the address into a browser.

Then click the “Tell the Senate to Support Medicare Fee Schedule Reform Now”

Scroll down and fill in the requested information which is name and story. The rest is pre-populated for you and hit submit.

Easy!

You can tell your own story in the message body.

Please share with as many people as you can and have them all reach the Senators.

We do not want to lose more essential medical services in our area.

Thanks so much for helping support us so we can serve you long term : )

It's empty! Always a sad feeling for sure.

Why do I put this here? To make sure you aren't feeling empty!

I have recently had one of my technology support systems have a 3 hour down time.

It was not expected and not a huge deal until laying in bed last night realizing "what if someone reached out for my help and think I am not responsive" UGH!!!

With that said,

I want to hear from you!

If you have reached out and haven't heard from me please reach out again!

Technology is great, until it isn't -_-
