Hi,
I am a new Office Manager to OT practice. The Therapists here do not want to bill Medicare if the patient has plateaued or they just come here for Maintenance (only once a week). Their stance is, it is not medically necessary and billing to Medicare would be fraudulent.
We have two patients who want us to bill Medicare as they have the OT benefits.
I see both sides of the story. Does anyone have any input and know what is Correct?
I appreciate the help.
Thank you.
