Please help educate me on the 30 day therapy waiting period. My provider provides PT to clients in rehab facilities, adult day cares, etc.
We have never had a claim deny for that reason but she states that if I patient is being seen for therapy at one place, they have to wait 30 days after being discharged in order for her to see them.
Thank you guys :)

I have not heard of this. I know the re-evaluation must be done after 30 days, and the therapy must start within 30 days of the dr's script. But I haven't heard of waiting 30 days in between therapy.

I would ask her where she heard this, and to provide documentation that actually says this, because I also have never heard of this requirement. Lots of times providers are "told" things that just aren't factual, and they just assume that they are.
