Adult Rehab Guide: Medicare Reimbursement and the Role of Occupational Therapy:

by Clarice Grote

Overview

The Adult Rehab Guide: Medicare Reimbursement and the Role of Occupational Therapy provides you with answers to many of the typical patient questions about Medicare coverage of equipment and occupational therapy.

As clinicians, if we don't understand how the healthcare system works, it is like trying to drive the wrong way down a highway. By understanding the system, you are better able to understand your role and better able to help your patients navigate their healthcare journey.

You deserve to understand your role as an OT practitioner and how reimbursement impacts you, your job, and your patients. As an occupational therapist, I know that working with patients and the clinic can feel intimidating and exhausting. It's hard to sort out what is up from down, especially when it comes to reimbursement.

The Adult Rehab Guide will help practitioners better understand how to communicate their value to management and help answer patient questions about Medicare coverage related to occupational therapy.

This guide covers occupational therapy services in adult rehab settings, including Medicare coverage, quality measures, health insurance types, durable medical equipment coverage, common interventions, and so much more.
