ONE TIME VISITS FOR TENS UNIT ISSUE AND SET-UP

[Guest guest]

Can anyone offer any information as to how they generally handle one-time

visits....whether for TENS unit issue and set-up, home cervical traction unit

issue and instruction, or other orthotics?

We get quite a few walk-overs from a pain clinic next door with orders for TENS,

home traction, etc.....Should we be billing for PT initial eval AND a TENS

set-up? or.....will insurances reimburse for the set-up without an evaluation

being informed? I don't want to be " over billing " for a one time visit that

doesn't take a lot of time, but I do want to make sure that we are re-imbursed

maximually for the service.

Thanks,
