Make it make sense!
You’re a great RMT with happy patients. But your treatment extension requests keep getting denied.
(even when your patient clearly needs more treatment!)
Getting a treatment extension is such a frustrating process! You do your best to treat well, chart thoroughly, and make your patients happy. But you keep getting denied.
It’s confusing. The approval criteria are always changing (and super subjective).
It’s disappointing. For you and for the patients who need your help but don’t get it.
It breaks your heart. Because you’re discharging MVA patients while they’re still in pain and need your help!
You’re so over the system that you’ve considered opting out completely. But you’re not ready to give up on helping MVA patients because:
- You genuinely care about your MVA patients and want to get them the long-term care they deserve.
- You enjoy the challenge of treating complex cases.
- And, let’s be real, there’s an endless stream of car accident patients. And treating them is lucrative!
You Want To Keep Seeing Your MVA Patients. Without The Stress Of Reports, Requests, Denials, And Adjuster Back-And-Forth!
But, like, how??
Sure, you could make your own template, but chances are, it still won’t be what the adjuster wants.
You could try to chart more thoroughly. But how? You’re already doing everything.
And yes, you could keep reaching out to the BC RMT Facebook Group for help. But it’s never been that helpful.
Plus, those options all demand more of your unpaid hours. And do you really want to keep doing this for free?

Meet Your Instructor
You’re about to actually like assessing, treating, and charting for MVA patients. I’ll make sure of it!
Hey there! I’m Richelle Seki, an RMT, clinic owner, and acupuncture school dropout working to improve the efficiency of admin for practitioners while simultaneously improving care for patients.
As a problem-solver who gets a little obsessed with finding solutions, I couldn’t stop thinking about why my treatment extension requests were getting denied. I worked hard and charted thoroughly, and my patients were always happy. What was I doing wrong?
Through way too much research, and after taking hundreds of hours (and thousands of dollars worth) of charting courses, I figured out the problem: adjusters and case managers don’t speak “practitioner objective measurements” nor do they extend care based on patient levels of pain (that’s too subjective for them). All they really care about—and need to see from us—is function and functional limitation.
After realizing this, I swapped out the way I used to chart for a style that prioritized functional abilities. And you know what? It worked! Before long, my requests were routinely being approved. And denials became a rare occurrence. Now, my entire clinic uses this method. And we haven’t looked back once!
It’s a Win-Win…Win!
Good for you. Good for your patients. Good for your bottom line.
(even when your patient clearly needs more treatment!)
Learning to chart, report, and request treatment extensions in an approvable way benefits everyone involved.
RMTs love it because it shows them how to speak the adjuster’s language.
Patients love it because instead of focusing on pain and what they cannot do, it celebrates their progress and puts the focus on what they can do.
Clinic owners love it because booking more treatments without needing to reach new clients improves everyone’s bottom line!

Frequently Asked Questions
You don’t need to change the way you treat. You just need to start charting in a way that gets approved!
We think adjusters want numbers, but they don’t. The language we’re taught as RMTs is ROM, pain, and tests. But the insurance folks don’t speak that language.
What *actually* gets your requests approved is a list of functional limitations that can be resolved with an additional 12 treatments.
And that’s exactly what you’ll learn to chart, report on, and request in this course.
