Re: United Health Care and ATCs

[Guest guest]

I would contact your contracting department at Henry Ford. Our contacting

department at Beaumont was very helpful to identity which insurances followed

Medicare reimbursement policies which includes use of aides and ATC's. At

Beaumont ours stated UHC follows Medicare reimbursement policies so we don't use

aides or ATC's with UHC.

We asked for their help mainly for the reason you give below.

Colleagues,

Can any of you tell me whether United Health Care recognizes ATCs as Rehab

Care Providers? I have tried to find an answer on their website, which is

about as inpenetrable as their phone system. In other words I can't get an

answer from them. Any words of wisdom are welcome, though should you have

appropriate links that would be better.

Thank you.

You should check with your state regarding reimbursement using anybody other

than PT's or PTA's. If your state doesn't allow the use of ATC's then it

shouldn't matter what UHC allows.
