Have a question. Is it legal to allow a Medicare patient to come in for physical therapy as a self pay, that is on home health and not send the claim to Medicare?
This particular patient is on home health after suffering a broken spine & is learning to get out of a wheelchair however in her fall her tailbone was broken. She is not receiving PT for the tailbone as the home health agency cannot treat it so her husband wants her to receive PT on her tailbone & wants to pay cash! Need the rules if anyone has encountered this. Thanks.
