I am extremely confused regarding re-evaluation in therapy/rehab patients. I read in places that re-evaluations can only be charged/coded (using modifier 59) if the status/plan of care has significantly changed; however in other places I read that a re-evaluation is required every 30 days by CMS??? Does this mean that CMS requires the re-evaluation but it cannot be charged for unless there has been a significant change. Please help me understand this and if possible provide concrete documentation. I am working together with our Rehab facility to try to understand when we can bill for these re-evaluations and, of course, need to be able to back up with guidelines.
As always, THANKS For your help!
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE WEBINAR THURSDAY
