It's scary to hear all the misunderstandings of our profression. I didn't

You could bill under Medicare B like an outpatient service. But we would
have it follow Medicare cap rules. Then you could provide OT separately. I

I think there is a time and place for everything including old modalities
such as shoulder arc, pegs, cones, and poof balls used during Saeboflex
activities, and also a ti

My opinion only: I will disagree with it being called "compensatory"

occurs after repetitive self initiating and self engaging activities occur.
The exciting part of this is giving hope to pt's even post stroke 23+ years.

I need some good critics and I know I will get them here.
Is this statement true?
1. Coders can use either medical or treatment code for diagnoses; and they

2. No where does it say OT and PT can't use the same diagnostic code
