CBP 35: Q&A with Jarod – The Wonderful Grey Areas of Medicare and Cash-Based PT

At the time of this recording, the podcast just passed the 50,000 download mark! Thank you to all who have helped me reach this milestone.

Today’s episode is a Q&A session in which I answer recorded questions from listeners like you.

• If a Medicare beneficiary is training for an event like a marathon and seeks my services due to an injury, would that be considered covered skilled PT services or wellness/fitness, or does it really depend on the type of treatment provided?

• How do you go about setting and assessing surcharges for travel time with home-based visits? Why is it important to do so rather than just charging more per unit of PT services.

• If a Medicare patient wants to see a cash-based PT, is that allowable?

• Do you (Jarod) treat Medicare patients in your cash-based practice? If so, how do you go about it to be safe and compliant?

• Medicare and Cash-Based PT Overview

• Medicare Mandatory Claims Exception and HIPAA Law Changes
