I'm not sure anyone wil care if you count all the REC time or not as it soes not impact reimbursement. As for PT, the REC person would be acting more as and aide and as such the PT could indeed count all of the time.
-----Original Message----- From: Karen Marolf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 10:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: co treatment Hi all, I need help with the following scenario: We have a pt working on trunk control. Physical therapy starts by getting the pt sitting, then activities come in and have him do an activity while physical therapy is working on the trunk control . We need to know how to correctly count minutes (I did not see REC therapy as one of the disciplines included for the co-treatment example in the RAI manual) Can Physical Therapy count the entire time (they are working with him the entire time) and Rec count the minutes they are providing the activity--altho it is happening at the same time as PT. or is there a problem with us counting the overlapping minutes?
