Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Kim, The PT state practice act and Medicare (CMS) does not require co-signature of the PTA documentation. BCBS does require the PT to co-sign PTA notes. Please refer to the BCBS manual for the reference. Another good resource for information is the MPTA Insurance Relations Committee.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Rick, & Kim Just a reminder that PT's, OT's and assistants from all states are reading these notes. Each state has its own requirement for cosignatures. Michigan may not have a requirement, but California does with specific time lines. I'm sure others do too. For those others viewing, be sure to check your own practice acts.
