The Challenge

Podiatry billing is uniquely complex. We know it cold.

High-complexity care comes with high-complexity billing — and most generalist RCM vendors aren’t equipped to handle it. SCALE is.

 

01

Routine-Foot-Care Coverage Maze

Medicare's class-findings (Q7/Q8/Q9) and at-risk documentation rules drive a high share of podiatry denials.

02

Wound Care & Global Periods

Debridement-depth coding, graft application, and global-period rules require precise, defensible documentation.

03

Diabetic DME Compliance

Therapeutic-shoe and orthotic billing carries strict documentation and KX requirements that invite audits.
