Industry Note:

Published on Tue Jul 05, 2011
Don't think you can keep billing for therapy if you meet one therapy reassessment requirement, but not the other. Question: "Does the non-coverage policy apply for both the 30-day requirement and the 13th/19th-visit requirement" a provider asks in a recently updated CMS document on therapy questions-and-answers. Answer: "Yes," CMS replies in the Q&As online at
