Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 We still set this up in our hospital. The nurses and PT make sure that the patients are getting the prescribed amount of time. We do not bill separately for this. We do provide training to the nurses to make sure the patient is getting the prescribed amount. Over the past few years, we have greatly reduced the amount we use these. M.

As you know, CPM set up etc. is no longer a billable service. How are you all handling this? Has this service been handed over to nursing? Did physical therapy provide this training and/or still provides training? Does physical therapy continue to provide this service/set up even though it is not a billable service? Thanks for any input you may have to offer. Karla Hobart PT, DPT, OCS, CLT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Our CPM's are put on by our recovery nursing staff. We inservice proper application and follow with yearly clinical competency testing. Pt's are responsible during hospital stay to make any ROM changes.
