Which "cert" are you talking about?? We take an eval and treat order on admission. We then do a telephone order with clarification ie., PT 5X/week for 4 weeks for specific modialities. We send out the HCFA 900 ( The therapists eval and cert form) for the doctor to sign. That has alot more specifics. We then also send out a Brigg's form 888 Certification and Recertification form. I write the same on of them "PT 5X/week X4weeks for ROM, transfer and gait traning. OT 5x/week for balance and ADL's. " and then ST if appropriate. Do we need to be doing all this? And am I doing this Cert/Recert form ok?"
