Increasing dependency on massage therapy and a burst in the number of therapists leave independent therapists and care organizations that employ them to deal with something that’s not as rosy: partial insurance coverage and disparity of rules from one state in the US to another. What adds to regulatory complexities is that a therapy to be reimbursed, has to be recommended by a physician via a prescription and has to be carried out under the supervision of the physician.
Partial coverage, disparate regulations and the need to establish by proper documentation that a therapy has been carried out upon a physician’s recommendation and supervision as an extension of the physician’s treatment - together bring upon the care provider administrative and other responsibilities that the provider is ill-equipped to handle.

Difficulties & Challenges Florida Physicians Face:
One of the unique challenges that physicians and healthcare providers in Florida deal with is the Florida Medicaid Institutional Care Program (ICP). This is because Florida has a large elderly population (65 years and older), which is projected to grow to nearly 26% of the state’s total population, the highest among all states in the US.
These elderly patients are either disabled or fighting chronic illnesses, making them frequent visitors to physicians’ offices and various hospitals. This fact, coupled with the recent healthcare reform, would ensure that health care providers are required to ensure accuracy and compliance with legal guidelines to avoid a drop in revenue or negative legal repercussions. Our medical billing specialists ensure that problems such as inadequate reimbursement due to claim denial and other related factors do not take their toll on your practice.
