Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 I seem to get conflicting info regarding placing Medicare patients on hold. Can anyone help to clarify? -How long can a Medicare patient be placed on hold from skilled therapy due to medical issues? -Is there a regulation to refer to? -Do you need a physicians order to hold? If so, when you resume therapy, do you need a physicians order to resume? -When you resume after medical issues are resolved, do you bill under the eval or re-evaluation code? If there is a new diagnosis after illness, do you need to do a new evaluation using the new diagnosis code? Thanks in advance, Mondello Director of Rehab Merrimack Health Group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
