Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hi Group - We are beginning to implement a functional capacity eval program at our clinic and I had a few questions. Hopefully those that have a program in place can assist... One major issue I'm concerned with is developing some sort of waiver to cover our clinic during the FCE's. Any helpful hints on covering all aspects of an FCE would be greatly appreciated. Also, when doing an FCE, can we charge for a 97001 and 97750 or does the 97750 encompass a PT eval? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 97750 covers all aspects of the FCE, including the initial assessment, actual performance of the tasks being evaluated, and the report. What type of waiver are you referring to?

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Regarding a waiver, I mean something that released the clinic from liability if the client gets hurt (perhaps from an undisclosed injury) but I'm thinking also needs to encompass some words on the composition of return to work evals - such as the tests are customized based on the employer's requirements and client's job duties. I also want to make clear that the client will have control over progression of the test and will not be coached or motivated in any way. I feel it needs to be more stringent than the informed consent we get from traditional PT clients.
