Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Posted May 4, 2006 We are trying to get some clarification for the re-certifications. For example, if the recertification is Due on 2/1. The therapist writes the report and sends to the physician on 1/30 (ie) Can the therapist continue with treatment even if the re-certification has not been received BY 2/1? Does the re-cert have to be dated by 2/1? Or does the physician have the ability to sign it during this treatment interval (2/1 thru 3/1)?. From the website: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/manuals/Downloads/hp102c15.pdf I interpreted that there is this time frame for the signature. However, the Medical Records department would like more insight. Can anyone help? Ann Heiman, MS, MPT Director of Rehab Services aheiman@... Please identify yourself, your discipline and your location in all messages to PTManager. Sick of working for someone else?
