The PelvicPath magazine
Clinical reasoning, billing rules and business math for pelvic health physical therapists running small independent clinics in the US.
Nine articles, all published September 4, 2026, written for the therapist who owns the schedule, signs the notes and answers the payer letter herself.
regulation and compliance
Evaluation complexity tiers, the 90911 and 97112 distinction, NCCI edits between manual therapy and biofeedback, and when a modifier is legitimate rather than a red flag.
numbers and benchmarks
How to build a cash rate from Medicare fee schedule anchors, chair time, overhead per treatment hour and no show risk, then test it against what your local market will actually pay.
mistakes to avoid
Most home program failures are design failures: too many exercises, unclear dosage, no feedback loop, and cues that assume a quiet room the patient does not actually have.
practical guide
A step by step approach to consent language, draping, positioning, chaperone policy and the stop signal, plus how to document that consent was informed and ongoing.
comparison
A side by side look at collections per visit, admin load, credentialing timelines, referral flow and Medicare participation rules for a small pelvic health practice.
case study
A walk through of one clinic's scheduling changes: same week booking, a reminder sequence tied to the home program, waitlist backfill and a policy she rarely has to invoke.
checklist
Licensure compact status, the state where the patient sits, payer telehealth policy, HIPAA compliant platforms, emergency protocols and consent language specific to remote pelvic care.
trends and outlook
Direct access laws, Medicare's certification requirement, OB and urology relationships, and what the shift means for how a small pelvic clinic fills its schedule.
field report
A close look at how a records request unfolds in a two therapist clinic: what the payer asks for, which notes get scrutinized, the response window and where small practices lose money.
PelvicPath delivers the home program, records each completed session and flags symptoms as they happen, so the between visit picture is on your screen before the patient arrives.
Most of what goes wrong in a pelvic plan of care shows up in the second week at home, not in the clinic. The guide on why postpartum patients stop their home program pulls the design, dosage and follow up decisions into one place.
Why do my postpartum patients stop doing their home program after the second week?
Then work outward: the eight other pieces in Pelvic Practice each take one part of it further, and every one links back here.
