As therapists performing seating and mobility evaluations, there are two types of denials we need to avoid. The first is a denial for our clinical evaluation and services and the second is a denial for the equipment we are recommending. If either of these denials occur often enough, you will not be performing seating and mobility evaluations much longer. This course will provide concrete ideas and proven billing techniques to help ensure optimal reimbursement for your evaluation and on-going services. It will also review the essential information required to justify the equipment we are recommending so that our patients get what they need.
