Palomar Vista Escondido

Good Therapy Team Makes Nursing Home Stay Less Daunting

Building Therapy Leaders Celebrate Leave a Comment on Good Therapy Team Makes Nursing Home Stay Less Daunting

Palomar Vista in Escondido, CA, was recently praised in an article published in U-T San Diego, written by a former patient and freelance columnist, Agnes Herman. Agnes shares her experience and feelings about the exceptional care and team support she received at Palomar: “Each therapist is dedicated to helping us avoid pitfalls in the environment, to strengthen muscles, increase range of motion and learn to walk safely and be comfortable in our own skin. These young folks who are professionals enjoy working together to create an atmosphere of ‘can do.’ They do not finish each other’s sentences, but they could. … When we fall, there is fear and apprehension along with pain. A caring environment and dedicated teamwork can cushion the impact of any fall.” Read the full story.

Compliance Corner: CPT Code for Electrical Stimulation Treatment

Building Therapy Leaders Learn Leave a Comment on Compliance Corner: CPT Code for Electrical Stimulation Treatment

Q. Which CPT code, 97032 or G0283, do I use to document the electrical stimulation treatment I am providing?

A. 97032 – requires the continuous skilled intervention of a therapist. You are actively involved in the delivery of the electric current to your patient. Some examples would be: 1) An application of Estim via a motor point probe; 2) Remote trigger to stimulate bilateral quads during standing in the parallel bars; and 3) The initial application of teaching a patient to use a TENs unit for home application. To bill 97032, documentation must describe the specific type of Estim provided.

G0283 – Most electrical stimulation treatments that are provided in therapy for non-wound care would fall under this code. This type of electrical stimulation requires the skills of a therapist to determine the settings and to apply the electrical stimulation, but there is no activity on your part in delivering the electrical current to the patient – the machine controls it all. Some examples include IFC and TENs.

Compliance Corner

Building Therapy Leaders Learn Leave a Comment on Compliance Corner

Q. How do you manage the ABN notice when a resident refuses therapy for three days?

A. CMS has clarified that an Expedited Review notice is not required when Medicare ends due to therapy refusals. If the resident is going to remain in the facility, give them the SNFABN (or Denial Letter), whichever you are using. This only needs to be given on or before the last covered day of Medicare. When a resident is refusing therapy, don’t forget to discuss and evaluate the reason for refusal. It’s important to be sure that the resident elects to end Medicare and that the refusals are not because we didn’t accommodate their choice for therapy scheduling. (Reference: www.aanac.org)
