Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I am currently serving on a Rehab Congress that is writing a policy on co-treatments between PT, OT and ST. We are determining best practice related to usage and billing. Does anyone know where I can find any laws related to billing? Does anyone have any suggestions related to best practice? Thank you, Cummings, PT, DPT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
