About HPA Audio Conferences:
-
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for Audio-Conferences
- HPA does not apply to
states for CEUs for audio-conferences, however, your state
licensure may allow credits for this education activity. You
will need to contact the agency in your state handling your
professional licensure in order to determine whether or not
credit is available.
-
Registration Pricing
- Registration fees vary
depending upon the length of the audio-conference and participants’ membership
status. Prices are listed on the registration form for each
audio-conference. Registration is for a single phone connection,
but you are welcome to use a speaker phone so that multiple
individuals may participate.
-
Audio CDs
- Audio CDs of audio conferences are not included in registration
for the audio-conference, but are typically available for purchase
at a later date. Pricing for CDs is generally the same as registration
pricing and includes a copy of the conference handout. Order
forms are available through the HPA website, HPA Resource, and
upon request from the HPA office.

Item#: ACD 4-3-07: Audio Conference CD: "Documentation
to Support Skilled Therapy Services: Understanding Medicare & Other
Payers' Rules & Regulations"
|
Recent Medicare probe reviews focusing on medical
necessity documentation have resulted in high levels of payment denials
to therapy providers. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) has made several revisions to the rules and regulations
pertaining to outpatient therapy services reimbursed under Part B
benefits. The changes include clearer requirements for key elements
of documentation to support the medical necessity for skilled therapy
services. These new requirements for documentation in Progress
Reports, Treatment Notes, and Discharge Reports, that if not completed,
may well result in a denial of your claims.
This practical course thoroughly reviews Medicare
Part B and other 3rd party payer documentation requirements for reimbursement
of outpatient therapy services. Key elements of initial evaluations,
re-evaluations, progress reports, daily notes, certifications/re-certifications,
plans of treatment, and physician referrals are detailed. Emphasis
will be placed on documentation of medical necessity to support why the
patient requires skilled therapy services initially and throughout the
course of care. Extensive references are provided so that therapists
can maintain current knowledge of the ever-changing reimbursement
guidelines and regulations.
