QuestionAnswer
Reform Payment for OP PT Services To improve quality of care Recognize & promote clinical judgment of PT Provide policymakers/payers w/ accurate payment system that ensures integrity of medically necessary services
Fee for Service vs. APS FFS: procedural-based payment system APS: per-session based payment system
APS Characterizes pt's based on Condition severity Intensity of Interventions
Characteristics of APS Reflect professional clinical reasoning/judgment & devision making by PT Improves provider compliance Reduces admin burdens of current model of reimbursement Enhances payer recognition of value of PT-directed care
Going to a new coding system would mean what to a PT? PTs learn significant changes to codes Elimination of numerous existing codes (decreased admin burden) Could result in more appropriate valuation of PT services (better reflect pt's condition/clinical judgment of PT)
