I believe that there is language somewhere in the Medicare regulations that indicates that you can't charge differently based on payment source, but this brings up an important point. This is my belief, based on a recollection that I can't confirm from home. Its been my experience on the multiple lists to which I belong that people are quick to give and accept opinions that are presented without substantiation. When its something like this, I think its really important to find out the "official" answer from source documents whenever possible. The PTManager website is a great resource for that type of material, as is CMS' own website. Good luck tracking down the answer. Ann -- Unsubscribe?
