Hello everyone! I’m an OTR practicing in Colorado. I currently work in acute care, and am opening a mobile outpatient private practice that specialize in pain management. I’m new to this community but already so inspired by the work Clarice has done. I can’t wait to learn more from the whole community.

Hello

Does anyone have any good resources on helping students learn to write how to justification for services and letter of medical necessity? We are looking to provide our OT students with a more information on this topic. Students seem to have a harder time with this when especially they are asked to provide a longer explanation.

@GailFisher Do you have any recommendations?

Sorry for the delay in my response, Anne – This is definitely a challenging one! I tried to encourage my students to think about what is the cost-benefit analysis – so what is the cost of the service they are requesting and how much money will this service save and why?

Hi Lindsay and Clarice

Thank you for all the recommendations. I look forward to diving into them deeper. I have already been using the recommended podcast but as a whole program we are looking for more resources. Thanks!

We have been continuing to explore the use of AI. One assignment in our program is for students to write a letter of necessity…

It’s that time of year again!!! The FY 2025 proposed rules for the SNF, IRF, LTCH, and hospital are out! This means you may start hearing from management about pending changes to your job.

Good news? There doesn’t appear to be any major shakeups but there are some updates to know about especially around quality measures (which influence payment).
