Written by Phoenix Ortho Team | March 17, 2025

All of you possess the ability to adapt quickly. It’s what makes you great therapists. Why shouldn’t your EHR software be designed with that same flexibility in mind?

The right EHR partner has expertly crafted its software with your need to be flexible while helping your patients with their own flexibility challenges. You need key features like AI-generated billing to set individual preferences with documentation sheets that can be specified to each of your clinicians’ needs, flexibility is what your EHR needs to do. Let’s dive in.  

These changes, while new, won’t be transient. Many clinicians like yourself must fully adapt to this remodel or suffer the consequences, which requires extra time that many of you don’t have. 

CMS Fee Schedule Reduction/Billing 

Earlier this year, CMS announced they were reducing the Physician fee schedule (PFS) by almost 3%. The most affected are those clinics heavily reliant on Medicare patients. This likely won’t be the last change they make. You need a software system that remains up to date with each CMS change, and we are not shy to say that Phoenix Ortho is that solution. With our CMS Regulation team, you’ll be certain you have a software system that’s tailored to all your needs while remaining CMS compliant.
