Patrick Magno PT, DPT shared thisMany clinic owners assume being in-network always means better reimbursement. But that’s not necessarily true. In some cases, physical therapy clinics can collect more per visit out-of-network, depending on the payer and contract rates. The real question isn’t in-network vs out-of-network. It’s understanding how each affects: • reimbursement • patient responsibility • claim approvals • revenue cycle management I wrote a quick breakdown for clinics here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/gm37Pa_b Are most of your patients in-network or out-of-network?In-Network vs Out-of-Network Billing for Physical Therapy | Reimbursement GuideIn-Network vs Out-of-Network Billing for Physical Therapy | Reimbursement Guide

Patrick Magno PT, DPT posted thisIsn't this obvious? Clean Claims = Faster Cash Every rejected claim delays payment 2–4 weeks. A clean claim requires: • Correct CPT codes • Proper modifiers • Accurate NPI • Matching diagnosis codes • Signed documentation Even a 5% rejection rate can wreck cash flow. Clean claims mean predictable revenue. Do you know your current rejection rate? If not, message us and Therapy Billing Co, LLC can help you figure it out for free.

Patrick Magno PT, DPT posted thisAuthorizations aren’t paperwork. They are revenue control. Miss one extension request or exceed visit limits and you could lose the entire claim. Clinics lose thousands every year simply because no one tracked expiration dates. RCM isn’t reactive. It’s proactive tracking. How are you currently tracking authorization limits — spreadsheet, EMR, memory, or hope? If you have any questions about authorizations or billing in general comment below and our billing experts from Therapy Billing Co, LLC will be answering for free.

Patrick Magno PT, DPT posted thisDo you know what the biggest revenue mistake is? It happens before the patient even walks in. Insurance verification. If benefits aren’t verified correctly: • You may treat without authorization • You may exceed visit limits • You may collect the wrong copay • You may never get paid By the time you find out… it's too late. Strong RCM starts at the front desk. Question- Do you have a designated person/team in your clinic that does the insurance verification? How confident are you they’re doing it right? Tell us your stories!

Patrick Magno PT, DPT posted thisMost clinics think they have a revenue problem. They don’t. They have a process problem. Revenue Cycle Management isn’t just billing. It includes: • Scheduling • Insurance verification • Authorizations • Documentation • Charge entry • Claim submission • Follow-up • Appeals • Reporting If one step breaks, cash slows down. Strong clinics don’t just “bill well.” They have a system.

Patrick Magno PT, DPT shared thisWhen I first started, I tried doing it all—scheduling appointments, managing insurance claims, handling billing, and of course, treating patients. It didn’t take long to realize that I needed help. Hiring full-time staff wasn’t an option at that stage, and that’s when I discovered Virtual Assistants. VAs took over those time-consuming administrative tasks, from patient intake to appointment confirmations and even insurance verifications. With that weight off my shoulders, I could focus on what mattered most: providing the best possible care to my patients and spending time with my growing family. With my VA managing patient communication, my clinic’s operations became more efficient. Appointment reminders went out on time, reducing no-shows, and follow-up calls were made regularly to ensure patients were staying on track with their therapy. Patients felt more connected and supported, and it showed in both their recovery outcomes and their loyalty to the clinic. My VAs also took over my marketing. They managed social media accounts, created content, and ensured that my online presence was strong. This has been a major driver in growing my practice and bringing in new patients—even without an existing network in the area. If you’re a healthcare provider thinking about going solo, or if you’re already managing a clinic and feeling overwhelmed, I encourage you to consider the power of Virtual Assistants. They’ve transformed my business, allowing me to scale efficiently, serve more patients, and have a better work-life balance. It’s possible to grow your practice while still having time for the important things in life—whether that's spending time with family, pursuing personal goals, or simply enjoying some well-deserved rest. To all healthcare professionals, especially those juggling family life, if you're looking to grow your practice, think about bringing on a Virtual Assistant. The right team can help you reach your goals, making the journey both attainable and rewarding!

Patrick Magno PT, DPT shared thisI increased my patient volume by 15% this month. This is how I did it- 1. I increased bonuses to all admin. I made it a team goal to increase patient volume 2. I focused on retention and gave all in house employees a 10% raise. 3. I increased my pricing - this one is a shocker. I thought I would lose some patients but it turns out that maintaining quality and increasing prices is better than keeping prices the same and decreasing quality. The increase in price paid for employee raises, bonuses, and additional virtual assistants. It did not go toward increasing shareholder draw. 4. I kept date night - happy wife happy life. We make a point to sit down at one of our favorite restaurants every weekend to debrief and discuss past, present, and future goals of the company and our family. This allows us to align the two to work together cohesively. When I am busy, she does her best to help where she can. If she has something going on or the kids do, then I modify my schedule for them. 5. I doubled down on customer service. - most medical offices and outpatient centers have terrible customer service. When you call you typically get a robot or voicemail that asks you to leave a message; if you are lucky, they will call you in a week or two. . You are required to know your insurance benefits ahead of time and few will even offer to verify your insurance for you. I absolutely hate this so I increased my internal team by hiring more virtual assistants. When you call Magno Physical Therapy(during business hours), you will always get a human. If we miss your call, you will get a call back within the hour. We verify all insurances for everyone even if they won’t become our patient immediately. I would not be able to do this without my virtual assistants. By focusing on retention and keeping everyone happy, including family, employees, and independent contractors, I was able to raise my patient volume by another 15% this month.

Patrick Magno PT, DPT liked thisThis past weekend, I had the honor of being invited back to provide medical support at the 2026 Washington Boys’ State Swim and Diving Championship with an awesome group of medical providers. I’m always thankful for the opportunity to get involved, re-connect with old friends and colleagues, meet with new people, and watch some fast swimming. -

They are clinically useful. But they are not always objective. And they are rarely scalable. Over the past months, I’ve been developing and testing a computer vision–based system that automates movement analysis using standard camera input. No markers. No wearable sensors. No expensive lab setup. Here’s what this means in practice: • Automatic joint angle extraction • Real-time repetition detection • Symmetry analysis • Center-of-mass estimation • Objective movement quality metrics • Instant data visualization Instead of manually counting reps or estimating movement quality, the system quantifies: • Depth and velocity of squats • Side-to-side asymmetry • Postural control patterns • Fatigue-related performance changes • Temporal parameters of functional tasks This is not just about convenience. It is about measurement precision. When movement data becomes: • Automated • Objective • Reproducible • Longitudinally trackable We can move from “it looks better” to “here is the quantified improvement.” For clinicians, this enhances decision-making. For patients, this increases engagement and transparency. For researchers, this improves reliability and scalability of functional outcome data. Most importantly, it lowers the barrier to advanced biomechanical analysis in everyday outpatient practice. We are entering a phase where computer vision is no longer experimental—it is practical. The future of rehabilitation is not just hands-on. It is data-informed, movement-centered, and objectively measured. #ComputerVision #RehabilitationTechnology #PhysicalTherapy #DigitalHealth #MovementScience #OutcomeMeasures #Neurorehabilitation #Biomechanics

Patrick Magno PT, DPT reacted on thisPatrick Magno PT, DPT reacted on thisLast week, I had the opportunity to attend APTA CSM, and it was one of the most impactful CSM meetings I’ve experienced. The education sessions were outstanding. What stood out most was how clearly our field is moving beyond theory and actively translating science into clinical implementation. Many leading researchers delivered sessions not only for fellow scientists, but also for clinicians and students—bridging the gap between laboratory findings and day-to-day patient care. Seeing this level of knowledge translation in action was energizing. Another highlight was the continued advancement of rehabilitation technology. The exhibit hall and tech demonstrations showcased tools that are no longer “future concepts,” but practical solutions being integrated into real-world practice. From objective biomechanical assessment systems to neurorehabilitation technologies, it was exciting to see innovations that can elevate patient outcomes, clinical decision-making, and data-driven care. As someone who integrates technology into both research and outpatient practice, it reinforced the importance of staying proactive rather than reactive in adopting evidence-informed tools. Finally, CSM always reminds me that our profession is built on community. Reconnecting with long-time colleagues, meeting new collaborators, and engaging with passionate students made the experience even more meaningful. These conversations often spark the next research idea, teaching innovation, or clinical improvement. Grateful to be part of a profession that continues to evolve, implement science thoughtfully, and push rehabilitation forward. Looking forward to continuing the momentum. #APTACSM #PhysicalTherapy #Neurorehabilitation #EvidenceBasedPractice #RehabilitationTechnology #KnowledgeTranslation

Complement protein C1q promotes macrophage anti-inflammatory M2-like polarization during the clearance of atherogenic lipoproteins
Inflammation Research
"Innate immune protein C1q plays a dual role in the chronic inflammatory disease of atherosclerosis. Complement activation via C1q exacerbates pathology in the atherosclerotic lesion in later stages of the disease. However, in early stages of disease C1q is protective. We hypothesize that complement-independent activities of C1q are involved in reprogramming macrophage inflammatory polarization."
