Wiki Assisted Living Facility

[tomtom2]

How should a patient being seen at an assisted living facility be categorized. When selected the appropriate therapy code; the difference in coding is.

;in an office or outpatient facility

or

;in an inpatient hospital, partial hospital or residential care setting.




"Residential care setting" seems to best fit the facility.

Thanks

If the patient lives in their own apt and is seen there, that would be a home visit.
