Re: credentials for fitness

KAy:

I am confused as to your post...I was not the

one who addressed why the patient was at their current level of function,

that is not for me to judge. I only addressed the issue of credentialling.

Just wanted to clarify...

Mr. Flickinger,

There are PLENTY of times when we can blame our professional failures

on lack

of sufficient reimbursement now, but as I recall, the original post

regarding

the 89 yr. old woman stated that she had been in a w/c for 7 years.

There

were no limits on service, other than reasonable and necessary and

significant progress, 7 yrs. ago. (Unless the PT was a PTIP with

a $900 cap

and didn't refer the patient for further treatment in a facility without

such

limits.) In today's world your point is very valid however, and

something

that all therapists need to address.
