Join Frank Long, editorial director of Rehab Management and Physical Therapy Products as he speaks with
John Wallace, physical therapist, and chief executive officer of BMS Practice Solutions, Upland, Calif.
Therapy practices can take advantage of ICD-10 to increase the performance they get from documentation and billing in a way that leaves a clear and beneficial mark on patient outcomes and the bottom line.
John speaks candidly about what ICD-10 means to therapists who want to clarify their thinking about patients—and the advantage of thinking “condition” over “complexity.” He also discusses what payors really need to know regarding the care of physical therapy patients, and how they feel about impairment measures versus ability to function.
Finally, John reveals how demonstrating clinical reasoning helps payors connect the dots for the services you provide.
John Wallace, PT, MS, OCS, had spent more than 30 years as a physical therapist when he realized he could make a far greater impact on the physical therapy industry and its patients by founding BMS Practice Solutions. He witnessed the business challenges that practice owners and managers faced firsthand in a variety of settings, including acute hospital, acute rehab, home health care, skilled nursing, sub-acute care, outpatient orthopedic, and sports medicine. He used this knowledge to create an extremely user-friendly physical therapy practice management system for the market. He remains deeply involved in helping his peers. John is a nationally recognized authority and speaker on rehabilitation revenue cycle management, coding, and compliance.
