Hi! I am having an issue with one of my practices that provides wheelchair management services by PT's and OT's for people with long term disabilities. They are occasionally running into discovering that the patient is within a Home Health Care episode. The services they provide CAN NOT be provided by the Home Health agency. It was suggested to get an ABN and use the GA modifier. This would be valid I suppose, but would leave the cost as the patient responsibility. I am wondering if there is a way to indicate that these services should not be included in the Home Health Episode and have Medicare view them separately? Thank you for any information. I have a meeting with the practice today and have not had any luck finding what I need to know!
