To all who responded to my question regarding physical therapist’s notes having to be co-signed by a physician. The overwhelming responses were there is no requirement in either the LCD or Medicare manual stating this is a requirement. Thank you to all who responded.

I have a new question. Is a repair done by the manufacturer, for a device that is beyond warranty, billable to Medicare? If so, I know how to bill the parts how is their labor billed. Their hourly labor totals more than $1,000.00 and exceeds the maximum 12 units billable to Medicare.

Any assistance would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Cindy
