Thanks for the info. They've never balance billed or collected from Medicaid pts. I was told that years ago Medicaid did pay for PT, but now only under 21.
This pt was disabled and on Medicare and getting Medicare-Aid(?) (I forget the name right now), but that covers their deductible, the 20%, etc so she had no out of pocket due to her income level/inability to work
At this point, the therapist apparantly was up for renewal for Medicaid, and decided not to re-enroll since NC charges $100 per provider, and didn't pay them anything (they don't see peds). So I will have to continue to w/o the 20% not covered.
Thanks~bren
