Wheelchair Evaluations

[Guest guest]

Group,

I'm interesting in hearing from those of you who perform wheelchair evaluations

and the associated documentation necessary to obtain approval from participating

insurance companies.

Specifically:

1. How long does the actual evaluation take

2. How much time is required by your therapists to do the " write up "

3. Suggestions on how you schedule time to accommodate the eval and write up

(block off " x " amount of time for both, or eval on one day and squeeze in the

eval time as best as you can using cancellations/no shows)?

4. How are you charging for the eval time and time spent preparing the

documentation?

Thank you,

Doug Julius PT, Ann Arbor
