Update: Multiple Therapies Services implementation
In a July Record article, we wrote about the proposed implementation of a new payment reduction policy for physical, occupational and speech therapy and asked for input from our participating facilities. Based on the input we received from professional providers, associations and facilities, the payment implementation policy is currently on hold. It will be reevaluated for future consideration and modifications.
According to the provisions of the Participating Hospital Agreement, the Multiple Therapies Services proposal was presented at the Aug. 24, 2022, meeting of the Staff Liaison Group, which included leadership from the Michigan Health and Hospital Association and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, and at the Sept. 29, 2022, PHA Advisory Committee meeting. |
