This
Lunch & Learn Audio-conference is designed to educate the physical
therapy professional about the most current regulatory, legislative, and
coding changes in Medicare. As everyone knows, changes and
interpretations are constantly being made to the Medicare program,
reimbursement and how certain situations should be coded. This seminar
will ensure that you are up-to-date on these changes and interpretations
in only 90 minutes.
Learn
the most recent information on implementation of the therapy cap under
Medicare, status of Medicare direct access bill, and possible changes to
the 30 day visit requirement for recertification of Medicare patients.
Determine how to use the ABN (Advanced Beneficiary Notice) and explain
to patients what Medicare will pay for and what Medicare won't pay for.
Find out how to code when co-treating. Recognize how students can be
involved in the clinic.
