With my experience working as a PT in an outpatient clinic, two different rehab facilities, in home health, and now as an in-home outpatient therapy provider I have seen my fair share of Medicare patients. Medicare can be so complicated but I hope this video provides some clarity in regards to Medicare coverage for PT.
This information is not meant to be exhaustive, different states, plans, and regions may have their own rules and processes. Some plans have visit number limits and others are auth based. This is just provided as a general overview from my perspective as a PT for almost 8 years. Hope it helps you navigate your coverage and ask the right questions as you seek therapy care.
