RE: therapy using 700

[Carrie O'Connell]

That's correct.  Below is Transmittal 43  June 20, 2003 "The documentation that supports the Plan of Care must be in the medical record. Therefore, we will no longer mandate the use of the Plan of Treatment for Outpatient Rehabilitation (HCFA Form 700) or the Updated Plan of Progress for Outpatient Rehabilitation (HCFA Form 701) in Exhibit 24. We are deleting the forms, all Program Integrity Manual Chapter 9 references to the forms, and table of contents references to the forms. Instead, providers may use any written format, including a form resembling the HCFA Forms 700/701, to convey the required information. " http://www.cms.hhs.gov/manuals/pm_trans/R43PI.pdf -----Original Message----- From: Faye Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 19, 2004 5:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: therapy using 700 I do not believe that the 700 and 701 forms are still mandatory.  There was a CMS update about that a few months ago but I don’t still have it so can’t verify my info for you.  Our rehab dept still uses them.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eva Scott Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2004 4:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: therapy using 700   Just a quick question:  We have our own therapy in house. They have decieded to create their own eval/re-eval. form and not use the 700/701 forms.  I was just wondering if this is ok?  They still have the md sign, dx, and start of service date.  I was just  checking to see if there was a rule on having to use the 700 or is it ok to do this?
