Re: medicare guidelins for outpatient PT...

[Guest guest]

Hi Jeff,

Medicare has defined outpatient physical therapy into two, services

provided by a PT in private practice & outpatient services provided in

any other setting. In all settings, except private practice, general

supervision is required - therapist is available but not necessarily on

the premises. When services are provided by a PTA in a private practice

setting, direct supervision is required - the therapist must be in the

office suite at the time.
