Therapy practices get payments clawed back when a client's insurance changes or lapses without the practice knowing, leaving balances from twenty to roughly a thousand dollars per client that may never be recovered. An eight-person practice reports this happens a couple of times a year and treats it as a cost of doing business. The root failure is that coverage is only checked at intake, so practices learn about changes from the payer weeks later.
