Thanks Sue, Now I have a question for you. How can Internet providers sell an PWD (wheelchair) to a CMS client and perform the necessary OT evaluation over the phone before shipping a wheelchair to them and then get paid by CMS. This happens every day.... Best Wishes W In a message dated 10/30/2009 12:54:36 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Thanks for all the helpful thoughts on handling money! Somebody commented that they thought they teach this (to OTs) in school - yup, they do, of course, but over my 26 years in practice I have always found that I get more and better ideas from folks living the issues than from any OT or any book. I also find that the people I'm working with will often accept an idea better from someone in a similar situation than from me, so lists like this are very helpful. I've printed off all the suggestions and will hand them to him this afternoon. Very grateful for your willingness to share! Sue Berres, OTR/L
