Live dashboards via SCALE's analytics platform
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.
Routine-Foot-Care Coverage Maze
Medicare's class-findings (Q7/Q8/Q9) and at-risk documentation rules drive a high share of podiatry denials.
Wound Care & Global Periods
Debridement-depth coding, graft application, and global-period rules require precise, defensible documentation.
Diabetic DME Compliance
Therapeutic-shoe and orthotic billing carries strict documentation and KX requirements that invite audits.
How SCALE solves it
Podiatry Prior Authorization
We manage advanced wound-care and surgical authorizations end to end — including appeals.
Podiatry Coding & Charge Capture
Automated review flags class-finding, debridement-depth, and modifier errors.
Podiatry Denial Management
Payer-specific appeal templates for routine-care, medical-necessity, and DME denials.
Routine-Care & DME Integrity
Defensible class-finding and diabetic-DME documentation capture reduces denials and audit risk.
