30 days or 90 days scripts

[Guest guest]

Group,

 

There is a hospital in town that is issuing scripts to doctors with a circled 30

or 90 day certification plan on them. So, some are circled 30 days and others 90

days. What would be the reason for this?

 

I have some doctors that are not signing my scripts after 30 days because it

wastes their time and they say other PT scripts don't bother them with scripts

every 30 days even though they continue to see the patients more than 30 days.

 

We have a state statute that says we need a recertification/signed script with a

progress note every 30 days. Don't we need follow this rule. I know Medicare has

its rules but how does that relate to the state statute?

 

Thoughts??
