I am new to PT/OT billing. I work in a Private Practice setting. Our state allows for the PTA's to provide services with general supervision and still bill under the Treating Therapist. CMS requires direct supervision and for services to be billed under the Therapist providing the direct supervision. Our PTA's always have direct supervision. But my question is what happens when the Treating Therapist isn't the one providing the direct supervision. Does the PTA need to document who the substitute supervisor is? Or can it be billed under a substitute supervisor as we have record of the substitute being on site?
Currently our PTA's document the Treating Therapist and then sign the note.
I appreciate the help.
:confused:
