It is has been my understanding that O&P services in Rehab. Hospitals or in
designated Rehab.units in hospitals have been DRG exempt, and services are
covered under Part B. Recent conflicting reports from colleagues state that
Medicare is now treating them as SNF's (skilled nursing facilities), and applying
such rules...(i.e. provision after discharge...exhaust Part A...training
purposes..etc)...and sometimes requesting overpayments for past services provided.
As usual, conversations with Medicare cannot verify this. They are not sure
and have to investigate. Has anyone had feedback on this, or experienced
problems. Thanks in advance B.R. CPO
