Surprising to me, Rick Gawenda turned a topic that for some is a yawner, into a discussion full of useful and sometimes unknown information.  Not just for the coding clerk, but every therapist seeing patients in todays complicated world of third party reimbursement you will not want to skip this interview.

In this first of a two part series, Rick clarifies Medicare’s 8 minute rule and exposes some common misunderstandings about it.  In Part two to be released next Thursday, Rick will discuss the rule on billing for re-evaluations and how to correctly bill the non Medicare patient. 

Mr. Gawenda is a nationally known speaker and expert on insurance billing issues.  He is a Physical Therapist currently serving as the Director of Physical Medicine at Detroit Receiving Hospital.  Join Jeff Worrell for this informative interview by clicking on the green right arrow button next to the speaker icon below.  For more information, email us at feedback@pttalker.com.
