HI 00601.165 Other Rehabilitation Service as a Basis for Extended Care

Where an individual's claim is predicated on a need for a type of rehabilitation service other than physical therapy, e.g., occupational therapy (HI 00601.190) or speech therapy (HI 00601.190), the intermediary relies on its medical staff to determine whether the care required by the patient and whether the required care could have been safely and effectively provided only by or under the direct supervision of skilled personnel.
