Hello Ron et al. I recently had a friend who is a PT out west, and then a PT just yesterday here in my state, explain the concept of "ON-site" out patient physical therapy. It allows a PT to go to any setting (home, nursing home and even the garden, golf course, etc...) to provide therapy that results in functional outcomes in the particular environment. And, they can bill for Medicare Part B.
Without all the argument of which profession should be doing this, do OTs have the same opportunity to provide "on-site" out-patient care abd bill for Part B? I suppose the main catch is that PTs can bill for therapeutic exercise, balance training, neuromuscular re-ed, etc...all the while having the impairments and functions addressed in real environments.
