Nursing Facility Intermediate Care

Hello List
We have been asked to provide orthotic care to a Medicare patient in a
nursing facility. We asked whether the patient was in a skilled bed and were told
that they are in Intermediate Care. It is my understanding that unless the
patient is in Long Term Care, then the facility is obligated to provide the
service directly or through arrangement (purchase order) with another entity. Does
Intermediate Care make a difference?
