For each CPT code, we will identify the practice’s current fee, if one exists, compare fees charged by other physicians in your area, and check other relevant industry reference points. We will review the schedule with you and incorporate any changes requested, prior to your approval. We will also suggest periodic revisions, including each year, when the AMA revises and issues its new CPT manual. We will delete outdated codes and add new ones, and suggest fees that are appropriate for your market area.

Practice Patterns

To provide a clear picture of where you are financially, Brault can produce a monthly financial-statements package that includes a P&L statement, a balance sheet, and cash flow reporting.
