Occupational Therapy Skilled Services
Clarice Grote, MS, OTR/L
I’m sure every OT or OTA has documented that a patient would benefit from skilled occupational therapy services or skilled occupational therapy intervention but how many actually know what it means to provide a skilled service? That’s why this week on The Amplify OT Podcast, I am talking about what it means to provide skilled occupational therapy services.

- How Medicare says we should be documenting our skills.
- Concrete questions to ask yourself to help you determine whether or not you’re providing a skilled service
