At PREFERRED Therapy Providers, we’ve spent more than three decades connecting physical, occupational and speech therapists with tools to help their practices survive – and thrive.
Joining PREFERRED allows you to focus less on paperwork and more on your practice and patients. You can worry less about finding, negotiating and reviewing payor contracts while freeing your staff from much of the administrative burden of credentialing and enrollment.
PREFERRED members have access to contracts for pediatric and adult care, with health insurance companies, HMOs, ACOs, PPOs, self-insured employers, third-party administrators, workers' compensation carriers, auto insurance carriers and specialty networks.
More payors can improve your bottom line, but administrative tasks can be overwhelming. As a PREFERRED member, you do the paperwork once. We do the rest.
As a member, you leverage our reach and 30+ years of negotiating payor contracts to get competitive reimbursements and contract terms that benefit you, not the payor.
Members get fast-tracked clinic enrollment and therapist credentialing that takes weeks, not months. Plus, once you’re active, we keep your clinic and therapist information up to date so you don’t have to.
Worry less about staying on top of payor contract and regulatory requirements for your PREFERRED contracts. We'll keep your annual compliance attestations up-to-date and monitor the Office of Inspector General and SAM exclusion lists to ensure your therapists are not excluded from Medicare.
When claims are not paid according to PREFERRED contracts, our experts will work with your billing team to help address and resolve claims disputes and appeals.
Members enjoy peace of mind, knowing contracts are regularly reviewed by our experts to ensure they are competitive and are in-line with current market trends.
PREFERRED members have access to tools including marketing toolkits, templates and ongoing expert advice; newsletters, videos and webinars on best practices for managing your therapy practice; and legislative alerts with a turnkey way to share your opinion on regulatory and reimbursement changes.
We know it can be overwhelming finding new vendors and service providers to grow your practice, so we bring our 30 years of experience and relationship-building to help. You’ll find an ever-expanding list of recommendations to vendors you can trust — often with a discount.
