Hi I am a recent graduate working in a small physical therapy outpatient clinic with the hopes of bringing a new element to the community and the practice. The community I am working in has never truly been exposed to occupational therapy on the outpatient level, there are OT's in the nursing home, hospital and school district. Although the majority are contracted in. Overall bringing my profession and name to the community has been very slow coming.
I have two questions- 1. For those of you in the outpatient community how do you bring the true meaning of function and occupation to those who perceive their abilities as fine? What marketing tools have proven to be most effective? How have you marketed yourself to be "different"? I have conducted inservice, written articles for the local paper, sent out media brochures to physicians and local resources (libraries, community resource centers). 2- I am treating an individual in the home for home assessments and environmental modifications- 63yo male with CP, Med B. Is there a modifier required of these services when billing Medicare? Thank you Erin van Gelder OTR/L _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, visit: http://otnow.com/mailman/listinfo/otlist_otnow.com The OTnow Mail Archive: www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ===============================================
