I have an OT student who would like to be able to treat independently. I understand we both can’t treat different residents and bill as individual, but can you explain how to bill if she is doing a treatment while I am evaluating? Can the student treat a Medicare Part A resident while I evaluate another, and can we then both bill individually, or is this concurrent?”
Answer:
What’s the regulation when a therapist has a student? Can the student take over the therapists caseload and the therapist take on more patients that they would then treat? How does the level of supervision work? My understanding is as long as the therapist is in the room supervising the student the therapist can be treating another patient. This also would increase the therapist’s productivity to over 100%, is this a problem? or justifiable?
