Billing and Payment Compliance Considerations for Supervision in Inpatient and Home Health Care (On Demand Webinar) (PD102774)
Audiologists and SLPs who work in inpatient and home health care settings and supervise graduate students, clinical fellows (CFs), and assistants need to comply with payer requirements to avoid denials or unfavorable audits that could lead to recoupment and civil or criminal penalties. This webinar will outline the state and federal legal supervision requirements as well as payment considerations when supervising students and support personnel. The webinar will explain how to document the services provided by students, CFs, and assistants; how and when to bill; and the level of supervision required across practice settings, including hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, and skilled nursing facilities.
