Episode Description

When OT Can Stand Alone in Home Health

How many visits does another qualified practitioner have to complete before occupational therapy can stand alone for a Medicare home health patient? This is a question I got asked more than once and wanted to take the time to get to the bottom of this question and address some of the myths around the order of service. That’s why this week on The Amplify OT Podcast, I am breaking down the criteria for OT to stand alone in home health.
