It may be difficult to identify that a business or a patient is billing inappropriately for extended health benefits care unless a problem has been identified during an audit conducted by an extended health insurer. But for auto insurance claims, PTs do have the ability to ask the College to check the Professional Credential Tracker (PCT) provided by Health Claims for Auto Insurance (HCAI). The PCT uses HCAI data to identify who has a health professional’s credentials. To access the PCT you would need to contact the Practice Advisor to provide your name, registration number and an email address where your report can be sent. Contact the Practice Advisor at advice@collegept.org to request a PCT report. You can also get information about reporting errors.
Some of the possible problems noted in the PCT Reports are:
- Listings that include variations on the spelling of your name
- Profession is incorrectly identified
- Previous employers have not submitted an ‘end date’ when you left the practice
- PTs find clinics listed on the report that are unknown to them
- A different provider name is on your report
- A facility where you deliver care to MVA patients is missing from your report
- The report does not include a list of specific patient names or treatment dates.
