Wiki 97762 orthotics

[tiffanyf.chase@gmail.com]

Medicare requires a re-eval and new script every 30 days for a physical therapy patient. I do not have a pt with a plan of care any more they are discharged, but were needing a simply ortho's check out for adjustment.. nothing more. Do I have to re-eval an obtain a script or can I just bill the 97762?

Given the situation and fact they are discharged and its just an adjustment I would bill it and not obtain a new RX or do a Re-eval. They don't really need a doctor order if they already were under a prior plan of care when they treated and/or received the splint and you do not need to re-eval them for this its not really necessary and there would be no significant change in their status to warrant billing one either.
