β³ Prior authorizations are quietly draining PT practices β and it's not just about paperwork.
π© One mistyped NPI or outdated ICD-10 code = automatic rejection, restarting the multi-day review clock
π© UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna & Blue Cross all have different portals & rules that change without warning
π© Payers often approve only 3-6 visits at a time β forcing constant re-authorization just to keep care going
Admin teams spend up to 15 hours/week chasing approvals instead of focusing on patients.
At Park Medical Billing, we help PT practices cut denials by 50-70% with proactive authorization tracking, EMR integration (WebPT, AdvancedMD, Jane, Tebra & more), and daily denial alerts.
