Hi Ron & All, I am sure this might start a thread. You asked me if I am a member of AOTA. I was for years but not now. For the three reasons:
1. they dropped the ball when they let medicare exclude OT (the only therapy and most functional in homes) as a qualifying skilled coverage for home health 2. my state Medicaid does not cover home health OT but does cover PT 3. I have noticed very little effort by AOTA to get the "OT extended coverage" bill passed that would allow OT to now be a qualifying service as well as nursing, PT and Speech in home health. So now I only join my state organization and low vision organization since I feel AOTA does not use my money to benefit me. Also, I took an AOTA online course on low vision early this year and it was poorly done compared to the online low vision course I took from the Lions Vision Research & Reahb Center, whichs was excellent. Maybe that will get something stirred up. Gina -- Unsubscribe? [EMAIL PROTECTED] Change options? www.otnow.com/mailman/options/otlist_otnow.com Archive? www.mail-archive.com/otlist@otnow.com Help?
