Comment on CMS Revalidation: What it Means to Physical Therapy Practices by Paul Martin

Medicare can do unannounced surveys at any time and for any reason. It is best to have all therapist files up to date; CEU’s, License, training requirements as they want to be sure everyone is credentialed. Typically an onsite visit (single clinic) is half day – but again all depends on why the Medicare inspection is taking place. If the surveyor finds an issue, they could be at the clinic all day. They will do patient chart review; match documentation with the bill submitted. They may ask to interview a therapist, office manager, Medicare biller, and if a Medicare patient is in the clinic at the time the surveyor is there he/she may ask to interview a patient.

You need to make sure that the flat fee will cover your cost, including all direct and corporate overhead. Build your profit into the incentive to be at least a 20% margin.

If you use the flat fee plus incentive how would you know where to start. I wouldn’t have a clue on how much to charge for either
