Posted: Oct 29 2012 at 5:41pm

I am a PTA student in my last clinical affil in an acute care setting at a hospital. I am brainstorming on potential topics for an inservice presentation, I would like to choose a topic that is interesting, would have enough research available & benefit the facility. Medical diagnoses I've been exposed to in my first week are CHF, PE, pneumonia, sepsis, COPD, UTI etc. and seen TKRs/THRs. I was thinking of presenting on lines/tubes/monitoring devices (but this is a little cut and dry) or patient positioning when treating a specific diagnosis...Any thoughts would be appreciated.]]> Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:41:04 +0000 http://www.cyberpt.com/ptforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1063&PID=1495&title=inservice-topics-for-acute-care-setting#1495 <![CDATA[Acute Care/Inpatient Rehab : PHYSICAL THERAPY MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS IN THE ICU]]> http://www.cyberpt.com/ptforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=624&PID=1493&title=physical-therapy-management-of-patients-in-the-icu#1493 Author: justinjude

Sorry, just had to correct your statement on AD.

Autonomic Dysreflexia usually presents with increased BP and decreased HR/Bradycardia not the other way around. SCI above T6 level are prone to this, but can rarely occur in lower thoracic lesion presentations. And you should never place this patient in a supine position; SIT THEM UP!

It depends...

There are different rules for different states. I would call the state board for the state you practice in and ask them specifically. A PT Eval is usually an untimed procedure, and it makes no difference if OT and PT Eval the pt. during the same block of time. If a treatment is included though, you cannot charge a similar procedure at the same time as OT. So, for example OT co-tx(s) w/ PT and first 15 minutes is a therapeutic activity w/ OT, then 8 minutes during the session is dedicated to transfer training w/ PT. The PT and the OT must make sure the charge is not the same for the same time (transfer training could be considered a "therapeutic activity" charge) and it must be clearly noted that PT worked with the patient from time X to time y and similarly for OT.

Hoping someone can help shed some light.  I am hearing differening opinions on billing in the acute care setting.
 
Are you able to bill for one unit if you have completed the chart review, talked with the nurse/MD (basically completed all the legwork) but then are unable to complete the eval either due to testing or patient compliance? Some therapists are billing one unit for porductivity.  Is this correct?
 
If the OT and PT complete the evaluation together, can each discipline bill for the same time.  Example, both disciplines are with the patient for the same hour.  Can each bill for 60 minutes or should each bill for 30 minutes?
 
Thanks!
