Therapy Treatment Mode Guidelines for PDPM and Medicare Part B

Therapists face increased scrutiny around appropriate service delivery modes in rehab settings - particularly for concurrent, group, and co-treatment services. With reimbursement and compliance implications tied to correct usage, misapplication can result in overbilling, denials, and regulatory risk. In 2020, CMS clarified billing distinctions and accountability under PDPM, making it critical that rehab professionals know when and how to apply each mode within scope and regulation. This course provides practical, evidence-informed strategies to help therapy professionals understand, apply, and document group, concurrent, and co-treatment effectively. Participants will return to their setting equipped to ensure clinical appropriateness, enhance functional outcomes, and meet payer requirements - without sacrificing interdisciplinary collaboration or patient-centered care.
