About this episode

Can Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy Co-Treat in Acute Care?

Clarice Grote, MS, OTR/L

The Amplify OT Podcast website

A question I see a lot on social media and in my DMs is about if PT and OT can co-treat in acute care and if so, how can they make sure it is being billed correctly. That’s why this week on The Amplify OT Podcast, I’m breaking down how PT and OT can correctly bill for cotreatments in acute care settings.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Walking you through examples to help you understand what billing looks like in different scenarios.
  • The importance of knowing how your services are being paid for to better understand the policies around billing.
