In setting up the fee schedule for my new private practice, I discovered that, at least in TX, Medicare thinks OTs are more valuable than PTs. I was surprised to learn that they allow $70.95 for an OT eval, but only $67.08 for a PT eval. Why do you suppose there is a difference? None of the other codes pay differently depending on if the service is performed by an OT or PT.
