The Bottom Line: We may not have a hard cap, but going beyond $3000 per year requires more work and more risk of potential denials. Since this used to be $3700, it’s hard to call this a victory for the average Medicare patient. Who it does benefit are those individuals with significant health concerns who really do need physical therapy above and beyond the “average” Medicare patient. Oh…did I mention how this affects Medicare and how they bill your secondary insurance, if you have one? Typically, Medicare has billed secondary insurances under a “coordination of benefits” set of rules. With no hard cap, we really have no idea what changes will occur with secondary insurance benefits. Wow. That was a lot of information! Got Questions? Please email me at lewis@WAPTrehab.com with your questions. I am going to be writing additional blog articles about this and other insurance topics. To make sure you get these be sure to sign up online at www.WAPTrehab.com Mike PS- As a “Thank you” for taking the time to read all this I want to extend a special offer to our Medicare patients.
