Brenda Grumley
Hi. My name is Brenda Grumley. I bring Guidepost Practice Management Solutions over 30 years of experience in private practice physical therapy management. My expertise in Revenue Cycle Management includes UB (institutional) and CMS 1500 (professional) billing processes. I have a proven track record of accurate billing with reimbursement on the first claim submission. Finding variances in the revenue cycle and correcting them is my forte. Early in my career, I taught Adult Education classes at our local community college. With that experience I am able to use different types of teaching techniques to deliver challenging concepts. Wanting to further my career, I joined the Private Practice Section of the American Physical Therapy Association. I was the administrative liaison to the Program Work Group Committee for 6 years. During my tenure, I assisted in the creation of the Private Practice Administrator Certification Program. For two years I’ve been the Administrative Network Chair for the Private Practice Section. This experience has provided me with a network of colleagues and industry leaders to help keep me on the forefront of the ever-changing environment in private practice physical therapy. In my free time, I enjoy spending time in the beautiful outdoors hiking, biking, camping, and exploring the historical areas of Colorado and other surrounding areas. My passion is playing tennis and squeezing in court time whenever I can. I look forward to bringing my knowledge to the Guidepost community
