The Jimmo Settlement Agreement of 2013 clarifies Medicare’s longstanding policy regarding coverage for skilled therapy services.
In brief, Medicare is obligated to provide services necessary to maintain the patient’s current condition, or to prevent or slow further deterioration. As long as the patient requires skilled care to maintain their current state of health, Medicare must cover safe and effective physical or occupational therapy.
That’s great news for seniors 65 and older!
The PT People is networked with many local Southern California IPA groups like Optum, ADOC, Regal, and more. We also accept major national coverage plans as well, like United Healthcare, Healthnet, and Cigna. All PPOs are welcome too!
