I know we have to split time if it is between  OT or Speech therapy and Physical Therapy, but I am unsure about Rec Therapy. Where would rec therapy count there minute?  Are you talking about section T?    If so have you read the instructions carefully? To count you must have a MD order for a resident specific (not general) therapy program with all the accompanying goals, documentation and assessments by a state or nationally certified Recreational Thedrapeutic Specialist.   We never have MD's orer specific therapy programs so I never count it.   If you did I don't see why you couldn't count it in both places, it doesn't affect thr RUG score.
