Addressing Real Challenges with Sports Medicine Billing Services

Therapy 8-Minute Rule Errors

Incorrectly calculating timed physical therapy units leads to major revenue loss. We audit every treatment block for strict compliance.

Surgical Unbundling Conflicts

Arthroscopic procedures often include minor diagnostic scopes or shaving. We navigate NCCI edits to prevent improper claim denials.

Pre-Auth Authorization Delays

MRI scans and major orthopedic surgeries require rigorous pre-certifications. Our team manages portal approvals to protect cash flow.

Global Surgical Period Tracking

Managing the 90-day global period for sports surgeries requires precision. We apply Modifier 24 or 79 appropriately for non-related care.

Laterality Errors (RT/LT)

Musculoskeletal injuries require exact left/right site specificity on claims. Missing or mismatched laterality triggers instant rejections.

Administrative Overload

Sports medicine clinics balance high patient volumes and urgent injury care. We take over the full revenue cycle to relieve front-office strain.
