Abstract

A computer-implemented system includes a treatment apparatus configured to be manipulated by a patient while performing a treatment plan and a server computing device configured to execute an artificial intelligence engine to generate the treatment plan and a billing sequence associated with the treatment plan. The server computing device receives information pertaining to the patient, generates, based on the information, the treatment plan including instructions for the patient to follow, and receives a set of billing procedures associated with the instructions. The set of billing procedures includes rules pertaining to billing codes, timing, constraints, or some combination thereof. The server computing device generates, based on the set of billing procedures, the billing sequence for at least a portion of the instructions. The billing sequence is tailored according to a certain parameter. The server computing device transmits the treatment plan and the billing sequence to a computing device.
