Part B OP Rehab in Independent Living Facility

[Guest guest]

Hello Group,

Our hospital outpatient department has been asked to provide outpatient

PT services at a local independent living facility on site. Instead of

renting a space and buying a bunch of equipment, however, we were

thinking of actually doing the evaluation and treatment in the patient's

apartments. These patients are not homebound and all have Medicare in

some form.

What kind of things would we need to consider for billing, compliance

with Medicare rules, etc. with this type of setting?

Thanks in advance.

Meryl W. Freeman, MS PT
