Stop the Billing Fatigue: The Clinician’s Guide to Stress-Free RTM for Physical Therapy

A lot of successful RTM programs incur an incredible amount of pain when it comes to billing the RTM codes. Which is incredibly frustrating! You did the work, and now you have to perform a series of acrobatics just to get the documentation in, and that's not including all the trouble your Billing team (whether internal or external) will have tracking, fighting denials, etc.

The solution to easier RTM is easier billing.

Introduction

Ask any Physical Therapist their biggest complaint, and the vast majority will tell you: Documentation. When RTM for physical therapy was first introduced, many clinicians feared it would just be another platform they had to log into, another password to remember, and more "screen time" taking away from "patient time."

But RTM doesn't have to be a burden. With SaRA Health, remote monitoring actually saves time by identifying which patients need help and which are doing great on their own. Additionally, as our platform continues to utilize more and more data, PTs are likely to see more value driven from those labor-intensive Notes you spend so much time writing for every patient.

Quick Answer: How do you implement RTM without burning out staff?

Start with the end in mind! How will these codes get billed, tracked, etc.? Once you can answer that question, then clinical value, and the rest can typically be quite easy.

It may seem odd not leading with clinical value, however our experience and survey data supports the conclusion that no matter how much clinical value is delivered if the billing process is painful and arduous nothing else matters,

The "Easy Billing" Advantage for Clinicians

Instead of having to remember a litany of steps and workarounds for billing these codes, with SaRA Health the process is simple - Review Note then edit, if desired, then Sign. Done. <5 seconds. No worrying about billing within a visit or creating a separate Case or opening a past note or putting everything on a Saturday or Sunday.

And no more worrying about your boss asking if you billed your RTM!
