Core Capabilities of Our 8-Minute Rule Software
The 8-Minute Rule, Handled Automatically
Nearly every competitor treats the 8-minute rule as a line item inside a broader compliance feature. For a rehab clinic it’s the single rule most responsible for under- and over-billing when it’s tracked manually.
Automatic Unit Calculation for Timed CPT Codes
Documented minutes translate directly into correct billable units.
No More Exercise-by-Exercise Manual Entry
Ther Ex, TA, Neuro, Manual, and Gait calculated without listing each one.
Real-Time Threshold Alerts to Prevent Under-Billing
Flags when documented time doesn’t support the units being billed.
Built Directly into Clinical Documentation
Runs inside the note, not a separate calculator.
