Scheduler
Do you feel let down when patients miss appointments? Are you worried about interrupted flow of patient care, impeded clinic productivity, and eroding patient loyalty?

The rate of no–shows runs at thirty percent for the average Physical Therapy clinic. Assuming just five no–shows a day at an average $55 per visit, the no–show losses alone add up to $5,500 per month, or $66,000 per year.

A core component and the start of the patient encounter life cycle is Billing Dynamix's Scheduler.

Unbillable visits hurt Physical Therapist Practices' profitability as well, and in several ways, not only in terms of wasted time and resources, but also in terms of wasted front office time scheduling the appointment and then in terms of wasted back office efforts trying to get paid for it.

Revenue loss because of missed and unbillable appointments can be as high as 5%, 10%, and even 25% !


Physical Therapy Billing Scheduling Software

Billing Dynamix – Vericle® Scheduler



Early electronic Physical Therapy scheduling systems could not do much more than the paper diaries without connectivity to the back office, payers, and patients. Thus, the problems of missed appointments and unbillable visits persist in every practice that uses an outdated stand–alone patient scheduling system.
  • How much more revenue could your Physical Therapy practice generate if a patient appointment scheduler could prevent no–shows and alert about unbillable appointments in addition to its standard appointment–scheduling function?
  • How would you reuse your office personnel time if patients received reminder calls automatically, a week and/or a day before the appointment and without your personnel calling them?
  • How much front office costs could you eliminate if patient's eligibility would be tested immediately upon keying in the appointment and without your personnel checking patient's insurance coverage?
  • How much of your own time would you save managing your front office if you could see all actions taken (or NOT taken) for no–shows, unbilled, and unbillable appointments neatly typed on a single sheet at the end of the day?
Our Scheduling Software Features include:
  • 100% Web–based
  • Highly configurable
  • Progammable reminders and alerts at Point of Service for co–pays, unpaid balances, and referrals
