Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy (OT) plays a vital role in helping patients improve daily functional abilities, recover from injuries, and enhance their quality of life. But for Occupational Therapy providers, managing accurate billing and coding is often complex, time-consuming, and filled with compliance challenges. With constant CPT code updates, strict documentation requirements, and payer-specific rules, many practices struggle with rejected claims, delayed reimbursements, and administrative overload. At A2Z Billings, we specialize in Occupational Therapy medical billing and coding services, helping clinics, hospitals, rehab centers, and private OT practitioners improve operational efficiency, reduce claim denials, and maximize revenue. Our team understands all OT-related codes, payer guidelines, and compliance protocols required to keep your practice financially strong and running smoothly.

Why Occupational Therapy Billing Is Challenging

Occupational Therapy billing has its own unique complexities. Unlike general therapy services, OT comes with strict documentation, time-based CPT codes, extensive prior authorization requirements, and detailed progress notes. Common challenges OT practices face include:

• Incorrect use of time-based CPT codes (e.g., 97165–97168)
• Lack of accurate documentation for medical necessity
• Frequent claim denials due to insufficient reporting
• Complex insurance guidelines for pediatric and adult OT
• Modifier misuse (e.g., GP, GO, 59)
• Rebilling delays affecting cash flow
• Difficulty handling Medicaid, Medicare & commercial payers

A2Z Billings eliminates these barriers by providing precise coding, efficient claims management, and full compliance support for Occupational Therapy providers.
