APTA to Host Third Call-In on Medicare's Functional Limitation Reporting Requirements
Due to continued high demand, APTA will host a third Q&A call for members to answer questions about functional limitation reporting requirements. The next call-in will be Tuesday, July 23, 2:00 pm-3:00 pm (ET). Participants will need access to a computer and the Internet. Space is limited, so secure your spot soon. To register please e-mail advocacy@apta.org with "July 23 Call" in the subject line.
All providers who bill outpatient therapy services under Medicare Part B must submit functional limitation data (G-codes and appropriate modifiers) for any Medicare beneficiary, or claims will be returned unpaid. Therapists must report functional limitation data on the beneficiaries' current functional status and on the projected goal at scheduled intervals throughout the episode of care, including at the outset of the therapy episode, no less frequently than every 10th visit, and at discharge.
If you can't make any of the call-in sessions, APTA will add questions posed during these calls to its existing FAQ documents on the Functional Limitation Reporting webpage.
