PracticeRates Turns Chicago Therapy Rates Into Negotiation Leverage
A rate-analysis and negotiation service for Chicago therapists and group practices, built from payer files and organized by insurer, billing code, percentile, and confidence.
Field notes
PracticeRates works from payer-negotiated-rate files rather than connecting to a practice's EHR or billing system. Its examples are organized around codes such as CPT 90837 and insurers including BCBS IL, Aetna, and Cigna, with percentile placement and confidence grades. The page says a paid campaign adds the practice's actual rates, a defensible target, payer-specific correspondence, submission instructions, and follow-up scripts; the sample explicitly marks its Cigna data as thin and low confidence.
