Use AI to quickly draft a treatment plan justification for when insurance requests additional documentation.
When insurance asks for more detail about why your patient needs continued therapy, you don't have to start from scratch. Instead of staring at a blank page, give AI the basic facts about your patient's functional limitations and goals (without using real names or identifiers), and let it draft a structured justification you can refine. This cuts your writing time in half and ensures you hit all the key points insurers look for—like medical necessity, functional deficits, measurable goals, and expected outcomes. Remember: always review the AI's draft carefully, add your clinical reasoning, and verify everything aligns with your documentation before submitting. Never input real patient data into ChatGPT or Claude.

“I'm a physical therapist writing a justification for continued treatment to submit to insurance. My patient is a 68-year-old with recent total knee replacement who currently walks 50 feet with a walker before needing rest, has difficulty with stairs, and can't return to independent living yet. Their goal is to walk independently in their home and climb stairs safely. Draft a clear, professional paragraph explaining why 4 more weeks of PT is medically necessary, focusing on functional deficits, measurable progress, and expected outcomes.”
