Today’s “Insider’s” topic is outpatient therapy. Ms Digby explains how to determine which providers are permitted to perform which therapy modalities and then explains the importance of time and duration of therapy. During Episode 150, Ms Digby answers Erona’s question on determining whether breast cancer is still actively being treated or is it now “history of”? The final question, from Staci, regards what documentation specifics are important when the fracture treatment does not involve manipulation.
