Hello: The other day, I met with a PT manager of a local branch of a National rehab company. We were discussing OT services and the role that HOPE Therapy could play in their company. One of the first discussions centered on my belief that OT should not be practiced as upper extremity PT.
In the past, most PT's that I've talked with about this subject, have agreed with this perspective. However, this PT has a different idea. He believed that the current $1,500.00 cap on out-patient PT/SLP and OT almost mandated that PT's treat lower extremity while OT treat upper extremity. The manager felt that clients would be able to receive more PT services if OT is utilized to treat upper extremity issues. Just thought I would share with the list.
