/Physical therapy insurance verification

AI insurance verification for physical therapy.

An active response is not enough to prepare a patient for their visit. Shasta checks the payer's portal for cost share, visit limits, and authorization rules, then puts the result in the EMR using your format.

/What it handles

The routine work your staff should not have to chase.

Shasta works through the normal cases. Anything that needs judgment goes to your team with the details already gathered.

Starts with

A new patient, a monthly reverification, or a list of active patients

Done when

The benefit details and source document saved in the patient record

Works across

EMRClearinghousePayer portalsDocuments

01

Get more than active or inactive

Record copay, coinsurance, deductible, estimated patient responsibility, benefit period, and whether the deductible applies.

02

Check the limits that affect therapy

Find visit limits, visits already used, medical necessity rules, and prior authorization requirements.

03

Go to the payer source

Use the appropriate payer portal, try the available patient search paths, and save the eligibility page with the result.

04

Handle monthly reverifications

Check active patients again on your schedule so plan changes are found before the next visit.

/How it works

From incoming work to an updated patient record.

01

Patients enter the queue

Shasta pulls new patients and scheduled reverifications from the EMR or the worklist you already use.

02

Coverage is checked

It starts with electronic eligibility, then goes to the payer portal when that response leaves details out.

03

Your collection rules are applied

Shasta uses the same collection rules and verification template your staff follows.

04

The record is updated

The source and benefit details go into the EMR. Plans that still need a call or manual review go to your team.

When the job is done

Benefit details in the format staff already uses

The payer source attached for review

Unresolved plans separated from completed checks

/Set up for your clinics

Built around the way your front desk already works.

Set up around your rules

We map how each location schedules, which payers need extra steps, and where your team wants to take over.

A clear record of the work

Open any task to see what came in, what happened next, and what changed in the patient record.

A handoff when one is needed

Clinical questions, unusual cases, and anything outside your rules go to staff with the context already attached.

Verify the PT benefits behind each appointment.

A physical therapy benefit check needs more than an active coverage response. Your team needs cost share, remaining visits, benefit dates, and authorization requirements, with the payer source attached. Shasta gathers these details and saves them in the patient record using your clinic's verification format.

For ongoing plans of care, monthly reverification helps staff spot benefit changes. Unresolved plans go to your team for review, while authorization requirements can feed the next workflow.
