In O&P, the intake process is far more than just collecting patient demographics—it’s the cornerstone of compliance, accurate billing, and exceptional patient care. Every step taken during intake sets the tone for regulatory adherence and operational efficiency. When executed correctly, it safeguards your practice against claim denials, audits, and costly penalties.

Simple measures, such as obtaining copies of insurance cards and routinely verifying PECOS enrollment, can help eliminate these risks.
