PT Denial Recovery · Success Fee Only

Payers said no.
We don't accept that.

Your billing staff can't chase every denied claim. We work your ignored denial backlog on pure contingency — recovering revenue you've already written off.

How it works

Three steps. Zero friction.

No software to install. No contracts. No upfront cost. Hand us the backlog — we go to work.

Step 01
Share your denials

Send us your aging report, ERA 835 files, or EOBs — whatever format you have. We handle paper EOBs, fax PDFs, and payer portal exports. Sign a BAA and you're done with your part.

Step 02
We triage and work them

We score each denial by collectibility — dollar value, denial type, payer, and days remaining — then pursue recoverable claims through corrected resubmissions, appeals, and direct payer follow-up.

Step 03
You get paid. We take a cut.

Recovered funds go directly to your practice. We invoice only on what we collect, along with a transparent recovery report showing exactly what was worked and what came back.

Don't buy the tool.
Buy the outcome.
Success-based only

We take a percentage of what we recover. If we don't collect, you owe nothing. Our incentives are completely aligned with yours.

No retainer. No monthly fee. Ever.

Not now, not after we prove ourselves. You're paying for results, not access to a dashboard.

Start with your backlog

We begin with denied claims you've already written off — sitting untouched in your aging report. No disruption to your current billing workflow.

HIPAA-compliant from day one

We sign a Business Associate Agreement before you share a single file. Your patient data never leaves a compliant environment.

Why Badger

Built for PT.
Not retrofitted for it.

We focus exclusively on physical therapy — the payer mix, the common denial reasons, the appeal deadlines. Not general RCM.

Medicare denial patterns are predictable

Medicare is the dominant payer for PT clinics. Its denial codes (CARC/RARC) are standardized. That means denials are recoverable at scale — if you know what you're looking at.

Your billing staff can't do it all

One or two billers juggling claim submission, patient billing, and prior auths can't also chase a 90-day denial backlog. Abandoned denials aren't laziness — they're a capacity problem.

Administrative denials don't require chart access

A significant portion of PT denials are administrative — eligibility issues, missing modifiers, coordination of benefits. We start there: recoverable revenue with minimal friction to get started.

Speed matters. Deadlines are real.

Most payers set appeal windows of 90–180 days. Unworked denials aren't just lost revenue — they're aging out. Every week of delay narrows the recovery window permanently.

Common questions

Straight answers.

No sales script. If the answer is "it depends," we'll say so.

What types of denials do you work?

We start with administrative denials — eligibility failures, missing or incorrect modifiers, timely filing, coordination of benefits. Highest volume, most recoverable, and no clinical record access needed. We expand from there based on your payer mix.

Do I need to install anything or change my workflow?

Nothing. You share your aging report or ERA files in whatever format you already have them. We handle the rest. Your billing process doesn't change at all.

What's your success fee percentage?

It depends on the complexity of the denial mix and total backlog volume. We discuss this upfront before you commit to anything. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Is my patient data secure?

Yes. We are a HIPAA Business Associate and sign a BAA before any data is shared. We work only with the minimum necessary information to process and appeal claims.

What if most of our denials are old?

We'll tell you upfront what's recoverable and what isn't. The free audit gives us both a clear picture before you commit to anything.

We already have a biller. Can you work alongside them?

That's exactly the model. We're not replacing your biller — we're handling the denial backlog they don't have time to work. We're overflow capacity, not a replacement.
