Questions and Answers About Body Mechaniques

You have questions. We have answers. Take a few moments now to get answers to some our most frequently asked questions about how you can benefit from adding in-house PT and OT services to your practice.

Q. How much revenue can I really expect to add to my practice by adding Body Mechaniques' onsite physical and occupational therapy services to my mix of care?

A. It is not uncommon for the practices we work with to add $150,000 or more in new, net revenue. However, the amount your practice can make depends greatly on how many patients you typically refer for physical therapy or rehabilitative care. Request a no-obligation practice assessment and we can tell you within 24 hours how if this program is right for your practice

Q. Why should I use Body Mechaniques, Inc.'s Physician Services instead of just hiring a physical or occupational therapist on my own?

A. Good question. First, if it were simply a matter of hiring a therapist to provide rehab, then we wouldn't be in business. The reality is rehab would be a specialized division of your existing practice, requiring qualified and efficient therapists who are well versed in the workings of the managed care system. At Body Mechaniques, we provide the necessary rehab staff, as well as business office support to help monitor insurance billing and collections to ensure the successful rehab branch of your practice. It's a turn-key program. So it all comes to you with little or no effort on your part.

Q. Isn't it illegal in my state for physical and occupational therapists to work for doctors?

A. Unfortunately that is the case in some states and more and more states are moving in that direction. But the beauty of the Body Mechaniques program is that the care is provided under a contract with Body Mechaniques. Call us to find out if this is true in your state. If this is the case, the physical and occupational therapy staff can work for us, not for you, so the program meets all the requirements of your state and STARK II as well.

Q. My staff has never billed for physical or occupational therapy modalities, won't it put a lot of stress on them learning the codes?

A. Not at all. Our staff will train your staff so that they know everything they need to know about billing for PT and OT services. That way you'll never have to worry about over or under-billing.

Q. I thought of opening up my own rehab clinic once but the costs were prohibitive. So how much is this program going to cost me?

A. Another very good question. The actual cost of the program varies from practice to practice. However, you will find that the cost is a fraction of what you might expect. In fact, many of our clients are operating in the black within 90 days. For more details call us toll-free at 888-264-9446 or request a no-obligation practice assessment.

Q. How long does it take to get your program up and running
in my office?

A. Not very long. Most practices are up and running in 30 to 60 days. The usual determining factor is getting your practice credentialed for insurance reimbursement. Once that is done you can be off and running. But we walk you through all the requirements and help you with the paperwork, so the whole process is kept to a minimum. For more details call us toll-free at 888-264-9446.

Q. Does Body Mechaniques' program comply with the Stark Laws?

A. In one word - Yes! We have been extremely careful to develop a program that is in compliance with all Stark Laws. And as an added precaution we review every contract with our healthcare attorney to determine the necessary legalities. For more complete information call us at 888-264-9446.

Q. Can I bring all of my therapy referrals in-house?

A. Unfortunately, no. Since some insurance companies have exclusive relationships with certain rehab providers nationwide, you will never be able to capture all your referrals. However, it is safe to say that the vast majority of your payor mix may be captured, once the necessary credentialing is obtained. For a better idea of what portion of your referrals can be brought in-house, request a no-obligation practice assessment, and we can tell you within 24 hours.These are just a few of the questions that potential clients have asked. And you probably have more of your own. We'd love to give you the answers so that you can see for yourself how beneficial bringing your PT and OT care in-house can be.
