Physical Therapy Billing Services for PT Clinics
Timed units, GP and KX modifiers, and plan-of-care dates leave little room for error. Our physical therapy billing services review each claim against these rules before submission. PT clinics nationwide have trusted Pyramids Global since 2013.
Billing Support Built for Outpatient Clinics
Our physical therapy billing services start where most PT denials begin: the unit count. A 38-minute visit split between therapeutic exercise and manual therapy must follow the 8-minute rule, carry the GP modifier, and match a signed plan of care. That’s why Pyramids Global assigns certified coders who review PT claims every day. As a result, evaluations, timed procedures, and assistant visits are billed correctly the first time. Your clinic gets cleaner claims, faster payments, and fewer denials to chase.
Why Physical Therapy Billing Runs on Its Own Rules
A patient recovering from knee surgery, a runner with ankle pain, and a workers’ compensation case can share one afternoon schedule. Yet each payer treats their care differently. Medicare expects certified plans of care and progress reports every 10 treatment days, while commercial plans often limit visits or require prior authorization. Auto and injury claims follow their own state rules. That’s why our team checks benefits, remaining visits, and authorization needs before the first appointment. Our physical therapy billing services then apply the right rules to each patient from day one, so visits stay covered, claims move faster, and payments arrive on time.
Where Physical Therapy Revenue Slips Away and How We Help
PT clinics rarely lose revenue to one big denial. Instead, small unit and modifier errors repeat across hundreds of visits each month. These are the four problems our physical therapy billing services fix most often:
How Our Physical Therapy Billing Services Work for Your Clinic
Our physical therapy billing services follow the same path as your patient’s care. From eligibility checks to final payment, each claim moves through clear steps with accountability at every stage.
Why Physical Therapy Clinics Trust Pyramids Global
Over 500 healthcare practices across the United States rely on Pyramids Global to run their revenue cycle. Here’s what PT clinics gain once our physical therapy billing services go live.
Our Commitment to Physical Therapy Billing Accuracy
Every visit you bill reflects real recovery, whether it is a patient’s first steps after knee surgery or a safe return to work after a back injury. That is why each physical therapy claim gets the same careful review of units, modifiers, and plan-of-care dates before submission. After all, one unit error can repeat across hundreds of visits in a few weeks and put months of payments at risk.
Our physical therapy billing services are measured by three clear outcomes. First, we work to help your clinic collect the full amount it has earned. Second, certified coders and real-time claim scrubbing keep avoidable errors close to zero. Finally, you get clear reporting on payments and denials.

What do Pyramids Global’s physical therapy billing services cost?
Pricing is customized to each practice based on specialty, claim volume, and the services you need. Book a free consultation and our team will share a clear quote for your practice.
Which physical therapy services do you bill?
We bill PT evaluations and re-evaluations (97161 to 97164), therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, gait training, and therapeutic activities. We also bill dry needling, modalities, remote therapeutic monitoring, and telehealth visits.
How does the 8-minute rule affect Medicare PT claims?
Medicare adds up all timed minutes in a visit and converts them into units. For example, 8 to 22 minutes equals one unit, and 23 to 37 minutes equals two. Our coders calculate units from your documented minutes, so claims match your notes.
Do you handle prior authorizations for physical therapy visits?
Yes. We start each prior authorization request within 30 minutes of receiving the order. Payer decisions usually take 24 to 72 hours for expedited requests and 7 to 14 business days for standard ones.
Will your team work in our current EHR?
Yes. Our billing team works inside your existing EHR or practice management system, so your therapists keep their usual workflow. We follow HIPAA-compliant processes and sign a Business Associate Agreement with every client practice.
How soon will our PT clinic see results?
Most clinics see measurable improvement within 60 to 90 days. Collections can rise as denials fall and older claims are worked.
