Guest guest Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 A Rehab Agency does not require a Medical Director by the Conditions of Participation, nor have the Interpretive Guidelines suggested that as a guidance for surveyors. The Interpretive Guideline for Condition of Participation 485.709(d) requires that the “facility should have written patient care policies, based on accepted standards of practice for all services provided, that govern the outpatient physical therapy and/or speech pathology services and related services that are provided. Patient care policies are established by the professional staff of the clinic or rehabilitation agency and, where appropriate, outside professionals who function as a patient care policy committee. The professional staff preparing the patient care policies should include at least one physician and at least one qualified physical therapist (if physical therapy services are provided) and at least one qualified speech pathologist (if speech pathology services are provided). “ Rehab agencies can fulfill this requirement by having a physician participate annually in the review and updating of policies, which does not require a medical directorship. Additionally the Rehab Agency requirement to have a physician on call for emergencies was eliminated several years ago, although the interpretive guidelines have not been updated to reflect that (and other )changes in the CoP. A CORF requires physician services as a core component by the Condition of Participation 485.58(a), and most CORFs as part of fulfilling this requirement (in part) by establishing a “medical director†relationship with the physician who is fulfilling the CORF core physician service requirement.
