Procedure codes for Physical Therapy

  While your ultimate mission as a physical therapist is to improve your patients’ quality of life, the financial sustainability of your clinic is equally significant. One of the primary challenges faced by physical therapy clinics is not a shortage of patients or billable sessions, but rather the prevalence of billing errors.

Treating anemia encompasses a spectrum of approaches, from simple supplementation with medication to more complex medical procedures.
