Guest guest Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I have a home health physical therapy patient who has congenital cerebral palsy. She is now 24 years old. She has had therapy off and on throughout her life. Currently, her program consists of a stretching/flexibility program, which is to be carried out by the nursing aides and family. No functional goals for therapy at this time, other than improving her flexibilty to prevent further contractures. The family wants and is willing to pay out of pocket for our therapy services once a week. My question is: due to this patient still being on caseload for home health nursing, can we legally have this patient pay out of pocket for our therapy services? We would have the family sign the appropriate ABN forms. Thanks, Brodina, MPT Choice Therapy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
