A $49 Final LIVE Encore Webinar for Friday, May 15th at 12:00 Noon Eastern
In this final LIVE encore presentation, we explore how Home Health Agencies are now allowed to implement Outpatient Therapy service for non-homebound patients. Medicare allows certified home health agencies to provide Physical Therapy, Occupational therapy and Speech therapy to non-homebound patients in their homes. We will also cover the new regulations on telehealth for the therapist.
With current crises, many patients are not allowed to get therapy at Outpatient Therapy clinics or at the Outpatient Department at the hospital. Any traditional Medicare Part B patient is eligible for this service. Medicare has removed the cap in 2018. This service will allow patients to receive maintenance therapy in their homes.
