Physical Therapy Billing Services in New Hampshire
New Hampshire's physical therapy practices face unique billing challenges shaped by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield's commercial rules, NH Medicaid requirements, and Novitas Solutions Medicare policies. Our AAPC-certified coders specialize in both NH payer rules and physical therapy coding complexity.
Why New Hampshire Physical Therapy Practices Need Specialized Billing
New Hampshire's healthcare market includes 4,000+ physicians, and physical therapy practices here face a payer market dominated by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield on the commercial side and NH Medicaid on the public payer side. Medicare claims are processed through Novitas Solutions, which applies its own Local Coverage Determinations that directly affect physical therapy procedure coverage and medical necessity requirements. Generic billing teams without NH specific knowledge leave revenue on the table.
Physical Therapy billing itself is complex. PT billing uses timed CPT codes (97110, 97140, 97530, 97542) with the 8-minute rule determining how many units can be billed per service. Untimed codes (97012-97028) don't follow the same rules. CMS functional reporting requirements and authorization tracking add additional complexity. When you combine this coding complexity with New Hampshire's specific payer rules, authorization requirements, and 2 NH Medicaid managed care plans that each have their own billing rules, you need a team that understands both dimensions. Go Medical Billing provides that expertise at 2.49% of collections, serving physical therapy practices from Manchester to Concord and across New Hampshire.

Unit calculation based on total direct treatment time. Errors in either direction affect revenue or compliance.
