Physical therapy
Recovering PT balances from patients you expect to see again
Receivables recovery for physical therapy clinics — built for balances that accumulate across a course of care, without ending the relationship.
The problem
Why these balances sit.
PT balances build up across a course of treatment rather than arriving all at once, and the patient is often still on the schedule when the balance goes past due. Nobody wants to have that conversation at the front desk of a clinic the patient walks into twice a week.
Where physical therapy accounts enter the ladder
Start at Stage I — Pre-Collect.
A neutral third-party letter takes the conversation off your front desk without escalating it. For an ongoing patient, that separation is the entire value.
You keep 100% of what comes in
Pending compliance reviewThe ladder is the same for everyone; the rung you enter at is not. If your accounts do not look like the ones above, the assessment will say so and point you elsewhere.
What we see in physical therapy
The accounts that come to us from this sector.
- Balances accrued over many visits, where the patient has lost track of the running total
- Copays that quietly went uncollected across a treatment plan
- Patients mid-course whose care you do not want to interrupt

Questions creditors ask
Asked before you had to ask.
Can we place a balance for a patient still in treatment?
You can, and some clinics do — but say so when you place it. Accounts flagged as active patients are handled with that context, and you decide whether anything moves past the letter stage.
Are small balances worth placing?
Often yes, because the letter service is priced per account rather than as a share of the balance — the economics do not collapse on smaller amounts the way contingency can. Volume tiers are on the Pre-Collect page.
How do we start without committing to anything?
Describe your receivables — how many accounts, how old, typical balances, and what you have already tried. You get a recommendation for the stage that fits, including “handle these in-house a while longer” when that is the honest answer. No obligation attaches to the assessment.

Where do your accounts sit on the ladder?
Every engagement starts the same way: describe your receivables — how old, how large, how many, what’s been tried — and get an honest read on how far up the ladder they’d ever need to travel. Often the answer is “not far.”
