Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I read in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual " 20.1 - Discipline Specific Outpatient Rehabilitation Modifiers - All Claims " that GP modifiers are required for outpatient PT services. Is this true? I think we have been getting paid for services even without the modifier. On a separate issue, can someone cite a reference or provide more information regarding the length of time of validity for a prescription for PT services for non-Medicare pts? I keep hearing 6 months is the cutoff but haven't been able to find a reference. I also know that conservative common sense PTs use a recertification from the MD every 30 days, whether it's Medicare or not. Thanks, BOB Schroedter, PT Polestar Miami, FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
