Hey Trevor! Great tips - especially the tip about looking around the room initially for safety issues. Love your setup by the way. Are you using a Sony A7iii?

[@TrevorMinerPTDPT]

Thanks Tim! Good guess on the camera. Actually it's an a6400 with a sigma 16mm f/1.4 lens. Very close!

@@TrevorMinerPTDPT Nice! It looks great! Well done my friend!

Hi trevor , very helpful video I have a question how many soc or evals do you think is ideal per day if you working prn

[@TrevorMinerPTDPT]

I typically don't do more than 1-2 SOC a day and no more than 4-5 a week. That's my personal preference. I will do evals all day.

How can I GET home Hays UAL therapy ? I have kaiser permanente, but I also am on Medicare. I always feel like their goal is to give me as minimal help as possible. I am also a U.S. NAVY Veteran, so I’m hoping one of these avenues could get me more help to improve my quality of life. Because at this point, I’m on the fast track to losing hope.

[@TrevorMinerPTDPT]

If you are homebound, just ask your primary care physician for the service.

Don’t lose hope

Hi i am Kumud from Indian. I am medical Coder of Home health. Give me guidense how I can capture accurate Mitems in oasis

[@TrevorMinerPTDPT]

Hi, Kumud! Thanks for watching. I likely won't be posting much on the M items in the near future. Your company should have a process in place to provide you the necessary training.

My PT wanted to go look at all my meds which were in another room. I was bed bound. I said no. She already had a list of my meds.

[@TrevorMinerPTDPT]

Hi Sandi! It is a requirement by the payer, for the actual medications to be documented. A list is not sufficient. We don't make up the rules, but we have to follow them or risk our own ability to work. If you're paying cash for services, that would be a different situation though.

[@sandilobianco6734]

@@TrevorMinerPTDPT thanks for the reply but my Dr gave this PT my list of meds which is a document. If I was going to see this PT outside would I bring all my medications to her to look through? No

[@TrevorMinerPTDPT]

As I stated, the PT must view the meds in the home. That is a requirement of the payer. It does not matter if there is a med list or who it is from. I hope that's clear. You can call your insurance company with questions on that topic.
