What Makes Phototherapy Billing Different

Phototherapy treatments involve recurring sessions and strict payer regulations, making billing more complex than standard dermatology services.

Common challenges include:

  • Session frequency limits and payer caps
  • Medical necessity documentation requirements
  • CPT coding variations across modalities
  • Prior authorization requirements for extended treatments
  • Diagnosis-specific coverage rules
  • Consistent documentation across recurring sessions 

When these requirements are missed or applied inconsistently, practices may face claim denials, payment delays, and additional billing follow-up.

Session-Based Coding Accuracy

We review the phototherapy modality, treatment session, and supporting documentation to help maintain consistent coding across NB-UVB, broadband UVB, PUVA, excimer laser, and targeted phototherapy services.

Documentation & Medical Necessity Review

Diagnosis, treatment history, session documentation, and available medical necessity requirements are reviewed against applicable payer criteria before claims move forward.

Phototherapy Billing Support Across the Treatment Cycle
