Providing therapy with no facility?

[Guest guest]

Dear List,

I received a call from a contract PT that would like to know if she can

provide physical therapy to patients at their home and/or office (not under a

home health plan) without having a facility and get paid by federal and

commercial carriers. Secondly, she asked if she could just use an office

space she has available to her as a " facility " address and instead of treating

patients there, treat them in their home or office.

Any advice you can offer regarding her inquiry is greatly appreciated.

Have a great day,

There is some variation depending on the type of provider but.... Typically, the

answer is yes for Medicare. Other insurances depend on the other insurance [if

you've seen one policy, you've seen one policy].

We've been doing this is a Geriatric Model for over 10 years. Great market for

most therapists to consider - especially when getting started in private

practice.
