As a clinic owner, you’re constantly looking for ways to boost your income and improve the financial health of your practice — especially when patient volume stays steady. One of the simplest and most effective ways to increase revenue doesn’t require more patients at all. It starts with your fee schedule.

Your fee schedule is the foundation of your revenue cycle. If it’s outdated or too low, you may be losing money without realizing it. Wellness Billing recommends reviewing and revamping your fee schedule every year to stay aligned with current insurance reimbursement trends and your clinic’s growth goals.

The key strategy? Set your fees above the highest-paying insurance company.

When you contract with insurance companies, you agree to be paid no more than their allowable amount — the maximum each payer is willing to reimburse for a given service. However, that allowable amount varies between insurance companies.

By billing above the allowable, you ensure the payer adjusts the claim down to their limit — meaning you’re always positioned to receive the full reimbursement.

But when you bill below the allowable amount, the insurance company will pay the lower billed rate. There has never been a case where billing under the allowable leads to an upward adjustment. In other words, if you underbill, you under-earn.

Every underbilled claim adds up. Setting your fees correctly helps your practice maximize every dollar owed for the care you provide. Whether you’re an acupuncturist, chiropractor, naturopath, or massage therapist, accurate billing ensures you capture your true value — not just what the payer defaults to.

With Wellness Billing, we help you identify where you’re leaving money behind and ensure your clinic’s fee structure, coding, and documentation align with payer expectations and compliance rules.

Running a successful wellness or alternative medicine practice takes more than exceptional patient care — it requires strong financial systems that ensure you’re paid accurately for your work. That’s where Wellness Billing comes in. Our expert chart review process helps acupuncture, chiropractic, naturopathic, and massage therapy clinics maximize reimbursement, reduce stress, and gain true peace of mind.

A detailed chart review ensures that every service provided is documented and coded correctly before claims are submitted. This process helps prevent claim denials, underpayments, and compliance issues that can cost your practice thousands of dollars every year.

With Wellness Billing, providers gain:

• Accuracy and compliance – Every CPT code and diagnosis is double-checked for payer compliance.
   
• Higher reimbursement – Errors are caught early, so you get paid more per claim.
   
• Faster payments – Clean claims move through the system without delays.
   
• Peace of mind – You can focus on patient care instead of paperwork.
   

Unlike traditional billing companies, Wellness Billing specializes in integrative and holistic medicine practices. We understand the nuances of acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, naturopathic treatments, and therapeutic massage — and how to translate that care into accurate, high-value claims.

We know which codes and documentation details insurance payers look for. Our proactive chart review ensures that your notes clearly support medical necessity and justify the services you provide. That means fewer denials, smoother audits, and more revenue for your clinic.

Many wellness providers feel overwhelmed by billing. Between patient charts, changing payer rules, and time-consuming appeals, it’s easy to fall behind. Wellness Billing takes the stress out of the process. Our team handles everything from documentation review to claim follow-up, so you can focus on healing — not paperwork.

We turn a complex system into a stress-free, transparent process that protects your revenue and your reputation.
